The sdhc(4)/sdmmc(4) driver has already been ported to NetBSD and works 
fairly well.  However, there was some objection to its emulation of a 
scsipi device.  I'm in the process of converting it to use ld(4), but 
have run into some locking issues.  I don't have one of these SD card 
readers myself (I'm working on the driver for someone else), so it's a 
slow debugging process.

If you want some code to play with, let me know.
