All my NetBSD systems (8 machines, 3 manufacturers) are currently amd64
and all report identically:

%/sbin/sysctl hw.model
hw.model = Intel 686-class

whereas, for instance:

%/sbin/sysctl machdep.dmi.
machdep.dmi.system-vendor = FUJITSU
machdep.dmi.system-product = ESPRIMO Q520
machdep.dmi.system-version =                       
machdep.dmi.system-serial = YLRX022851
machdep.dmi.system-uuid = 8f38d6c8-9d4b-bd4f-af96-1c5477d1d160
machdep.dmi.bios-vendor = FUJITSU // American Megatrends Inc.
machdep.dmi.bios-version = V4.6.5.4 R1.17.0 for D3223-A1x
machdep.dmi.bios-date = 20140306
machdep.dmi.board-vendor = FUJITSU
machdep.dmi.board-product = D3223-A1
machdep.dmi.board-version = S26361-D3223-A1            
machdep.dmi.board-serial = 44524519
machdep.dmi.board-asset-tag =                       

This information is not avaiable in a Xen-virtualised environment,
where, for instance:

%/sbin/sysctl machdep.
machdep.fpu_present = 1
machdep.osfxsr = 1
machdep.sse = 1
machdep.sse2 = 1
machdep.cpu_brand = AMD EPYC 7402P 24-Core Processor               
machdep.sparse_dump = 1
machdep.tsc_freq = 0
machdep.pae = 1
machdep.fpu_save = 3
machdep.fpu_save_size = 832
machdep.xsave_features = 0
machdep.idle-mechanism = xen
machdep.xen.suspend = 0
machdep.xen.balloon.current = 1278984
machdep.xen.balloon.target = 1278984
machdep.xen.balloon.min = 1024
machdep.xen.balloon.max = 1278984
