Uploaded binaries (for amiga) can be used on all NetBSD/m68k ports,
so it's rather worth to install and use various binaries you need.

"Twitter client on m68k machines" is a major demonstration
on Open Source Conference in Japan:
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-x68k/2013/10/18/msg000038.html

Tier II ports of NetBSD don't have so much news
(there is no new hardware which should be supported)
but it's worth to just continue to use them and report
various results.

- post your dmesg (which show what hardwareand devices are actually working)
  to mailing list and dmesgd:
  http://www.nycbug.org/?action=dmesgd&do=home

- posting youtube video might also be interensting
  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_EdT8QWAkQ

- try the latest -current kernel in daily build and
  check if there is any breakage
  http://releng.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/builds.cgi
  http://www.netbsd.org/docs/current/index.html
  (NetBSD provides good binary compatibility so old userland binaries
   should still work with a newer kernel)

- demonstrate your favorite machines in various events
  http://movapic.com/pic/201104161105244da8f96468241  

etc.

BTW, here is dmesg of my TT030 running NetBSD/atari 6.1.3:
