Thanks for your feedback. The reason it will not run as far as I know  
is that NetBSD/macppc requires Open Firmware to function. Obviously,  
any mac68k machine that has been upgraded will not have Open  
Firmware. The original Nubus 601-based PowerPC machines did not have  
Open Firmware either which is why they cannot run NetBSD either. This  
is the way it has been and I am not aware of any changes to this.  
Parts for a 540c should be much easier to come by. I know there is a  
softfloat build available. The archives will show links to this.
