Yes. You need to get the source for libkvm off of
ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-current. Then rebuild ps, df, etc. Or just
grab a binary snapshot out of /opub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/current

There is a FAQ on www.macbsd.com in the HOWTOs. Under NetBSD/i386 it
should be fairly easy....you can disrearg the steps about config and bmake
and mkdep IF the -current ones are installed. Otherwise they will install
without much complaint.
Feel free to send me any specific problems...I seem to be doing more
cross-compiler type labors now than is really healthy....
