I'm fairly certain it works for Sharks and RiscPCs (though I've never 
tried to upgrade my riscpc from the really old one that was only available 
as a binary port -- sometimes stability is just too important).  I've no 
idea about CATS boards support, but my guess is that provided you have a 
video card that isn't tied to an X86 processor (via some bootstrap code) 
that there shouldn't be major problems.

There is a major problem, however, in building the X support libs.  The 
stock egcs-1.1.2 installed with netbsd mis-compiles one of the X libraries 
somewhere, so you need to build X with gcc-2.95.2.
