If you wanted to have a nice project, you could do a port of NetBSD for the VAX. It would be pretty intense-- you'd have to be doing it because you wanted to do an OS port to a VAX, or because you particularly wanted to be using a VAX. It most likely wouldn't be worth the time just to have a BSD machine. [ Unless you have a free VAX, lots of time, and little prospect of having money anytime in the next few years... :) ]
