can't speak about NetBSD, but looking at OpenBSD:

OpenBSD/hppa <https://www.openbsd.org/hppa.html>

The following systems are very unlikely to be supported since they 
either have incompatible firmware (the 3000s) or almost completely 
undocumented I/O subsystems (the 8x7s).

 * HP 3000 900
 * HP 9000 8x7 (F, G, H, I-Class)



Doesn't look promising... and I suppose now the time is a bit over with 
the interest of playing with them. Or maybe some crazy here starts 
hacking :)
