I think they will; they certainly did in a test I just ran, on
NetBSD/sparc 1.4T, NetBSD/i386 2.0, and NetBSD/i386 3.0 (I don't have a
mac68k machine up at the moment or I'd try it there).  I would not
expect different results on any other NetBSD; as far as I know they've
worked this way since symlinks first existed.
