   What's the status of ports of XXBSD to PowerPc based Macs? I'm sure
   we'd all hate to have the Linux thing being the only hot FreeWare
   UNIX port - topic for these machines ;-)

Then you need to start a PowerMac port.  Lots of people have asked for
one, but nobody has started DOING one.  Anyone interested in actually
getting such a project off the ground should contact the NetBSD core
team, and I'm sure they'd be ecstatic to lend advice on getting such a
thing going.  It's not going to write itself.
