Sonnet makes a very nice PCI video card specifically designed for 2D (it
was intended for dual monitor setups, but should work fine as a standalone).
It works out of the box from 7.5.3 on up, so I think you're golden for
NetBSD. My last price list has it at $99 MSRP, but you can probably do
better. Fry's sells them as well.
