Now it looks like the "NVIDIA MCP55 IDE" is supported by viaide in
   current and probably netbsd-4, so it should run at full speed here.

yeah, this works great in -current.

   > what of USB and serial ports?
   serial ports: no problems, the SMbus is not related to serial ports.
   USB: it looks like the MCP55 EHCI controller isn't supported yet.
   But you have other OHCI controllers in there, which should work.

these should all work fine in -current.  but ehci isn't enabled
on all kernels - just enable it.
