I don't know about the sparc port, but for the mac68k port check out
the NetBSD web pages at <http://www.netbsd.org>.  Under the mac68k
port pages, there's a page for information about current, and that
will lead you to links to binary snapshots of 1.1ALPHA.  Also, if you
just want a direct route to an unofficial but highly used and useful
snapshot site, try <http://www.eskimo.com/~wormey/netbsd>, or
<ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/w/wormey/netbsd/tarballs>.  A fellow named
Steve Allen (wormey@eskimo.com) keeps rather up-to-date snapshots and
other goodies on his account, available to all.

Good luck!  Oh, and the release date for 1.1 is supposed to be Nov
17th, so you may just want to wait another eight days and get the
official release.
