Hey, if your Q605 is lowly, what's my SE/30? B-)  The answer is
"probably not".  Various things are implemented quite differently on
Quadras from on the ones we already support.  Work is "in progress".

As its name NetBSD/mac68k implies, it'll never run on PowerPC chips.
PowerPC versions will be separate ports of NetBSD from the mac68k
port.

See above.

Provided that NetBSD runs on your hardware, it is our standard
compiler therefore supported (I'm not sure what you mean by
"directly", though).
