Not really. Is backlight powered down as well? It almost looks like the 
wrong port, or wrong sync. Something probably put the panel into 
suspend.

Which driver did OpenBSD use? Wsfb by any chance?
The problem is very likely not NetBSD-specific anyway, it's XFree's 
radeon driver.

What we have in xsrc/xorg is xorg with various security fixes and a few 
local changes to make it work on macppc, sparc and sparc64.
You'll probably have to install a few packages ( expat, probably 
fontconfig ), build and install the stuff in xsrc/dist and then use the 
build.sh script in util/modular. This will take ages to build ( thanks 
to gazillions of autoconf scripts ) but it should give you a working 
xorg 7.0. Be warned though, the radeon driver never really worked right 
on my iBook, it did produce output but full of distortions. Not sync 
problems, more like random noise as if something mucked with the memory 
clock - didn't always happen though.
If you're using radeonfb you can easily get X to work using the wsfb 
driver - it doesn't support any kind of acceleration but it should use 
a hardware mouse cursor. Doing the same with ofb will work as well but 
you'd get only 8bit colour and no hardware cursor.

have fun
