Real 68000? IIRC NetBSD needs at least 68010, for some restartable instruction
issue with original 68000 CPUs (but my memoires of this CPU family have faded
quite a bit, so this might just be wrong).

NetBSD needs a MMU - and there is no realistic chance (nor any work in progress
that I'm aware of) to lift this requirement any time soon.

That is a quite ideal situation.

You need a volunteer to do the porting. Once it boots multi-user it can go
into the tree.
