You're right, there doesn't seem to be much "official" documentation on 
this subject. However a number of people have written papers on their 
experiences of porting NetBSD, which may be useful. Check out, for 
instance:

http://2002.eurobsdcon.org/papers/ushakov.ps (JavaStation support in 
/sparc)

http://www.usenix.org/events/bsdcon02/full_papers/linden/linden.pdf 
(/amd64 port)

http://www.teamten.com/lawrence/291.paper.pdf (/mac68k port, pretty old 
paper)
