Maybe, but it has been very difficult to keep the native OS tools up to 
date on the mac68k port.  In fact they are very badly out of date with 
the NetBSD system now and have been for a long time.  Generally when 
people get NetBSD up and running they loose interest in maintaining the 
native OS tools they used to get there.  Plus there is the confusion 
factor that could be cuased by having two different methods of installing 
NetBSD.  As the one who unofficially maintained the Mkfs application on 
MacOS for years my vote would be to move as quickly as possible to the 
sysinst method and drop the native OS tools.
