Not currently.  It might be interesting to play with, but it would take
some work.  NetBSD doesn't currently understand the notion of being a
SCSI target, and you'd have to support that on one end -- you'd also
have to reset the host adapter ID on one of the macs (this could easily
be a kernel compile option).

Anyway, as people here have implied, it might be simpler to try and get
a couple of SCSI/ethernet boxes and just hook 'em up to the ethernet.
The only supported ones right now are cabletron boxes, which are hard to
find.  The Asante en-sc boxes are not yet supported (I never quite got
through to the right people when I went looking for docs, and I haven't
been able to put one on a scsi bus analyzer or anything like that--don't
have access to one and couldn't afford the ones that I've noticed on ebay).
