Currently, I am not aware of anyone working on an S/390 port. A few people
did toy around with the Hercules emulator, but no porting effort has
begun so far. So of course it'd be great if you could start the work
on this, especially given your position.

If there's a platform that NetBSD can run on, NetBSD shall run on it
someday, it is our mission :-)

We can set up a seperate mailing list for this port to begin with;
once it gets going, we can provide the people who wrote the code
with commit access to the NetBSD CVS tree.
