Keep in mind that for mips you have two different architectures: mipsel and mips(eb). I keep harping on this because you cannot run mipsel binaries on mipseb kernels (please ignore that some mips cpu can, in theory do this, since no free OS has climbed that mountain). You'll need different binaries (packages) for mips and mipsel. This has implcations for the kernel as well. BTW, netbsd doesn't have a 'platform' at all. Their config files have things like: machine arc mips in them. That just says "make the machine symlink to src/sys/arch/arc and also make a mips symlink to src/sys/arch/mips."
