There is such a thing, and it's called NetBSD/mac68k, also known as MacBSD.
Since this is the FreeBSD group, I'll keep this short and have set
follwups to the NetBSD misc group, but let me just say that you
should retrieve the file /pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.0/mac68k/INSTALL
from ftp.netbsd.org or any of its mirrors for more info.
