Yes, it does! See below..

Hmm, I applied the patch, recompiled the kernel, but not much differences:

rtk0 at pci0 dev 14 function 0: RealTek 8139 Ethernet (id 0x8139)
rtk0: interrupting at irq 25
rtk0: Ethernet address: e0:00:71:7d:1b:2b

Pinging from macppc (Apus) to i386 (seti), tcpdump made on i386:
23:31:11.366722 e0:0:71:7d:1b:2b Broadcast arp 60: arp who-has Seti-100 tell Apus-100.T
23:31:11.366782 0:e0:29:47:90:ff e0:0:71:7d:1b:2b arp 42: arp reply Seti-100 is-at 0:e0:29:47:90:ff
23:31:12.370859 e0:0:71:7d:1b:2b Broadcast arp 60: arp who-has Seti-100 tell Apus-100.T
23:31:12.370910 0:e0:29:47:90:ff e0:0:71:7d:1b:2b arp 42: arp reply Seti-100 is-at 0:e0:29:47:90:ff

I.e. it sends out the ARP requests but doesn't get the replies...

Hey, wait -  *that's funny:
While pinging the other way around, i.e. i386 to apus and tcpdumping on
macppc I found out, that rtk0 seems to work if it's in promiscous mode
(tcpdump suspended):

I can even log-in, nfs-mount my /home and /usr/src partitions, and
do all the usual network stuff  :-)

It stops working immediatly when tcpdump is killed.
