There is Linux binary support actually in the NetBSD source tree after
   all that doesn't support Linux binaries for my platform.  Does this
   mean that the whole Linux emulation package should be thrown out? or
   that I should abandon NetBSD because it is being i386 centrist?

now, i'm fairly sure that most of those don't work, but that's a
*bug* and is to be fixed.  nathan williams did work on making
the COMPAT_LINUX support work for all ports affected (like the
other COMPAT_XXX options do or are becoming more like) last year.
i believe it works for alpha and m68k, as well as i386.  all it
needs is someone willing to write the code for other ports...
but most of the hard work is already done.
