I'd be surprised if it doesn't.  I worked with several NetBSD users,
feeding them pre-release gcc snapshots and the like to make sure the
NetBSD configurations worked.  I verified the i386, m68k and vax
configs myself, and worked with others for the sparc and pc532.

The mips port-master, Ted Lemon, contributed a mips config personally,
and chris said the alpha toolchain wasn't ready and could wait till
later.

So I think gcc 2.7.0 had pretty much all NetBSD platforms covered.
