I don't think so, but don't give up yet!  There was a 1.4 test kernel
with support for your graphics card.  Look at

	ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/arch/pmax/1.4px/install.gz

Even though this is a 1.4 install kernel (an ECOFF one), you can still
point it at the 1.4.1 snapshot so that 1.4.1 gets installed.
