BSD does not support the VAXstation 3100.
MIT did a port of BSD using Ultrix source code (i.e. not free). It would
cost you less to get Ultrix. I don't know if we're allowed to distribute it
to anyone, even to other sites with source.
Neither Ultrix nor BSD supports the SPX color graphics system; both support
the GPX color graphics option (GPX is the name of the Q bus option; it might
be called something else in a desktop VAX).
