I've successfully compiled PostgreSQL, but it doesn't run :-( There seems
to be a problem with m68k support that affects all the NetBSD-m68k ports.
I think that MySQL is a package now, tho, so you could try that, it should
at least compile for you, but keep in mind that a lot of the packages are
pretty i386-biased at the moment.
