As a quick test you might want to try booting a -current kernel on
your B+ to see if it is happy (you should not need to change any other
config or binaries). Latest builds from
http://nyftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/HEAD/ if you do not want to
build your own.

I would expect that the RTC support would be pulled up into netbsd-7
before release, but I'm not the one to say for certain :)
