Having just gone through all of this myself, Constantine, Bob Nestor let me
know that there is no sound support in the mac68k port of NetBSD.

Here's what he related to me:

"Audio isn't supported in the mac68k port.  The SND circuits aren't
documented outside of Apple and the reverse engineering is slow going.
Colin Wood (an Intel Engineer and long-time mac68k hacker) has been
working on it."
