The macppc_nbsd support is preliminary, untested, and in fact guaranteed not to work.
Well, I knew that! I'm not complaining!
I probably shouldn't have even committed it, but I thought it might make a good starting point for someone, and I didn't want Love's hard work to be wasted.
The param files have several obvious problems. They have the sys_name defined twice, they are missing XBSD_ENV.
Have to check. I know I fixed some of that.
There is a ppc section in process.s, but it may or may not be compatible with your assembler.
There is? Oh, now I see it. AFS_PPC_ENV, but a lot is also conditionalized on Apple or NeXT.
It's got a note about only working on a 601-603, but not 620, which is OK since this is an old 603 at the moment. But the G3 is a 750 if IIRC. The G4 has Altivec (and 4-digit model numbers), but I think you won't need to worry about that in Darwin as long as you never touch the Altivec registers. Not sure about Altivec under NetBSD though.
The i386_nbsd code doesn't even work, so fixing that would be a good first step toward getting ppc_nbsd going. It shouldn't be hard, the pieces are all there, and i386_nbsd worked at one time in the Transarc code base. It just takes someone with time and enthusiasm.

And yes, this should be discussed on the -devel list.
;-)
I should also mention for the record that configure says <sys/mount.h> is unusable and I should contact the gnu folks about it.
