Yes, this way, you can share patches easily

It can't read ffsv2 partitions, but netbsd can read and write MacOsX UFS
file system. It is even possible to use UFS for netbsd's /
This way, i'm sharing pksrc and src checkouts between MacosX and Netbsd.
You just have to take care at defining WRKOBJDIR, to avoid confusing
netbsd and osx binaries

It is also possible to access HFS partitions from within netbsd with
hfsutils, but not HFS+. This is easy to set up a boot partition for
netbsd, that openfirmware can use
