As far as I know:

1) HWDIRECT ADB - is the default, although MRG ADB is still available

2) Daystar cache - I don't think this has made the main tree

3) SLOTMAN - I _know_ this hasn't made the main tree, but never fear,
they're still available, updated for NetBSD/Mac68k 1.4.  Go to my web
site at http://www.whooppee.com/slotman/ for more info.

So, as Jack Nicholson says in "Mars Attacks!", "Two out of three ...
ain't bad!"   :)
