I just managed to install the -current snapshot onto my system and after 
a short
period of time, the root filesystem was full, andI had not put anything 
there myself.
Very weird. I just tried to build a new kernel, with all the results 
going to /usr. I also
haven't found what is using the space yet.

Anyways, the net result is that the default sysinst 32Mb of root 
filesystem seems
  way too small.

A second note, is that I did the sysinst install method, and it doesn't
create an apple partition map, only a netbsd disklabel. OS X doesn't 
like this, and has
no apparent way of not complaining about a "non initiallize or 
recognized" disk during
startup. I don't recall sysinst being able tosee the preexisting 
partitions (including an
earlier set of netbsd style "Apple_UNIX_SVR2 *" partitions that were 
working.

Does one have to do a manual system installation on macppc?
