No, but I did get one of the core PostgreSQL developers to finish the
support for PostgreSQL on NetBSD/m68k.  It should be fully supported in the
last two versions.

There was a compiler bug in NetBSD 1.3.2 which caused 'now' to look
considerably different from 'current', but since we switched to EGCS for
1.4 I would bet that's gone.  I keep meaning to try it out myself.

If you want to give a more full-featured DBMS a try and you run into the
compare bug in the regression tests I can tell you how to work around it.
If the bug is still there then I should have the package patch around it
and submit a PR, I guess.

Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
