All the m68k ports are now soft links to "m68k". As a consequence, if
you have one, you have them all. Since last month, you also see all
the versions available: mostly older, but also newer (if there is a
*-current package).

There's an up-to-date, well written FAQ with links to all the other
important urls at

<http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/packages.html>

Except for that, it looks pretty complete.
