Unfortunately there isn't a netbsd native part.  I haven't converted the 
Linux driver code so that it can be run under NetBSD; all I converted was 
the MacOS side.  It was only intended to be a stop-gap utility to help 
get users running NetBSD or to recover from some Disk Partition Map 
snafus we've seen in the past.  :(

I'll upload the file into:
     arch/mac68k/installation/misc/pdisk.sea.hqx
     arch/macppc/macos-utils/pdisk.sea.hqx

The file contains executables for both 68k and ppc, all the sources and 
original documentation.
