Even as we speak NetBSD is running on and being ported to other
processors and architectures besides 386/486 PeeCees.  The 0.9 release
even has kernel arch trees for amiga and hp300 (though I don't know
how complete they are yet).  I would recommend you get in touch with
the NetBSD core team.  One address that should reach them would be
netbsd-current-users@sun-lamp.cs.berkeley.edu.
