Sure... There's a bit of history behind NetBSD/i386, too (called 386BSD :-).
NetBSD/hp300 came from HP-BSD. Evenually, legacy names go away.
As for OpenBSD having a mac68k port... "So?" This is a NetBSD mailing
list. If they're capable of providing a source tree, I'm sure they're
capable of providing mailing lists of their own. Quite honestly, I
don't believe that OpenBSD issues have any place on this or any other
NetBSD mailing list. It's a separate project, after all..
