It does. But the Compaq Deskpro has a strange PCI system, and NetBSD
incorreclty detects the PCI Mode (detected as mode 2, where it should be
mode 1). You have to recompile your own kernel with
options PCI_CONF_MODE=1
in the config file.
Or you can patch your kenel binary with gdb to set the value of the
variable pci_mode to 1.
