Sure. I run fvwm on a Mac SE/30.
Just get the sources for xpm-3.4f and fvwm from a local ftp-server and
compile them under NetBSD. (I've got them from a Linux CD-distribution).
Check for the following files (you will need all of them):
fvwm-1.23b-modules.tar.gz ,sources of the modules (GoodStuff etc.)
fvwm-1.23b-icons.tar.gz , Icons of the applications
fvwm-1.23b-core.tar.gz , sources of fvwm itself
xpm-3.4f.tgz
I didn't have any problems compiling them.
(Hint: There is an already compiled version of fvwm on eskimo:
ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/wormey/netbsd/packages/fvwm-1.24r.tgz
ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/wormey/netbsd/packages/xpm-3.4f.tgz)
The execution of fvwm is made in the .xinitrc file.
Just replace the line "exec twm" with "exec fvwm"
