It's not quite as simple as "ports using OF" and "ports not using OF".

For example, while I have personal experience with only the one unit,
http://www.netbsd.org/ports/sparc/javastation.html#mrcoffe implies
fairly strongly that some JavaStation-1s have OB and others have OF.
And I _think_ some of the older machines supported (at least last I
knew!) by NetBSD/sparc are old enough to have neither, though I'd have
to dig out examples and try them to be sure - I may be confusing Sun-3s
with Sun-4s.
