You mean a NetBSD release?

Here's the thing: I haven't touched that thing in more than two years.
Meanwhile NVidia has released a few versions of their FreeBSD driver.
The amount of work required to make it work on NetBSD is not small.

Now, if someone wants to work on it, be my guest (you'd better start
with what is in http://taryn.cubidou.net/~cube/netvidia).  It is very
interesting to work on the kernel for that.
