   Did I hear before that someone was porting NetBSD to the
   Sun arch?

NetBSD is quite stable on the Sun sun4c architecture. People are
running with shared libraries and X. Almost all SunOS binaries
continue work on it.

It is somewhat less stable on the sun3/[56]0 architecture, though
steps are being taken to improve that. SunOS binary compatibility
exists here too.

In fact, the SunOS binary compatibility mode is also available on the
Mac and Amiga ports. Go head, run FrameMaker on your Amiga...
