Is there any possibility of a Mips port for NetBSD ?

I have an Olivetti M700-10 which is a Mips 4000 processor based system and 
would like to install a BSD based unix.

There is the beginnings of a Linux port (it now mounts /root) and it would 
be nice if there were a NetBSD port as well.

I know everyone is very busy, but if (with my limited very knowledge of 
mips) I could be of any assistance I would certainly offer it...

Thanks
