Yes, Hetzner's VPS line is KVM, and NetBSD should work on it, but I
don't have experience with this. Their control panel doesn't allow you
to upload an ISO but you can request an ISO via a ticket. Their panel
then allows you to interact with your VPS.

On their wiki, there are some instructions in German about how to
install OpenBSD ( https://wiki.hetzner.de/index.php/OpenBSD ), so I
assume that NetBSD would work as well.  

This said, Vultr is no doubt a safer choice for NetBSD, because a number
of us have run NetBSD on Vultr with no issues.

The KVM console pertains to the dedicated servers; for the VPSes, you
use their control panel to manage the VPS. (No time restriction for the
control panel.)
