No, not likely while the PDP-11 is subset of vax it's different.

Could either be PDP-11/23 or 11/73 both are nice Qbus PDP-11s but unless
someone does a 16bit port (netbsd vax is a 32bit port) your out of luck
here. Checkout ELKS as porting that 16bit code to a PDP-11 might be
doable. You would need some tools to do it.
I wish there was a PD *nix port for PDP-11s.
