"Maybe."

But they're liable to make syscalls you haven't got and aren't
emulating if they do anything particularly fancy. Video rendering
strikes me as maybe kind of fancy.

But... you may be out of luck on getting mac68k binary packages from
ftp[n.CC].netbsd.org for these particular packages; I don't see them
even in the 1.6.2 section.

Huh.

I've not been paying attention for quite some time, but I'd had the
impression that either releng or the pkgsrc project people were
doing semi-regular builds on all ports by way of cross-compilation.

Unfortunately, I don't have a mac68k system online anywhere. But
somebody around here may.
