I ask again: is there any reason that The NetBSD Project couldn't
accept such a driver?

As far as I know, The NetBSD Foundation has signed no such NDA, or was
even _aware_ of any such NDA signed by some of the NetBSD/arm32
developers.  Even if you ("the set of people who you describe as the
RiscBSD kernel team") are not capable of committing any such code to
the NetBSD source tree, if another developer were to write the code,
they could commit it, couldn't they?
