Yah, they are.  there are acouple of things in /bin and /sbin that aren't 
quiet 100% (for various reasons; disklabel(8) and anything that uses 
libkvm), but I use, for example, binaries compiled on my Amiga on my Sun 
3.  (X was a biggie; and it would have taken _forever_ to compile on the 
Sun 3 :-).

Alas, the hp300 is not binary compatible with the other m68k ports for, 
as near as I can tell, an historical reason.  I'd personally like to see 
_one_ binary distribution for all m68k ports (except for port-specific 
things like eeprom, screenblank, iteconfig, etc. which just flat-out 
won't compile on other than their intended platforms because of 
machine-dependent header file differences).  Doing this is going to 
require, among other things, a few changes to libkvm (the sun3 goo will 
have to be merged into the other m68k stuff, and it will have to be able 
to determine which routines to use), and making 8k pagesize executables 
the native format for NetBSD/hp300.

It seems we've had this dicussion here N times before :-)
