The information in the Linux driver is probably sufficient to write a NetBSD
driver, but it's somewhat tedious.  Perhaps you could ask the author of the
Linux driver if he's managed to get a data sheet for the PL2307 chip and if he's
will to share.  With a data sheet it would be much easier to estimate how much
work is involved.
