If you don't have the kernel source around already, I could see it being
a bit of a pain to download it, but compiling a kernel shouldn't really
tie up your machine... it definitely doesn't require your machine to be
down. (I assume you mean that other people depend on it being up and
running NetBSD, not MacOS?)

I could probably compile a 1.3 kernel with the patch and put it on a ftp
site or something... I don't know about upgrading to 1.3.1...
