Unlikely.

I'm not sure what you're saying - I'm not sure what the problem is.
Are you saying NetBSD doesn't support AUI?  (If so, that's definitely
false; I use it daily.)  But really, support for AUI - or much of
Ethernet, for that matter - is more a matter of the hardware than the
software; it's a matter for software only when the hardware is capable
of it but does so only when explicitly told to by the software.  Such
hardware exists, and some of it is supported by NetBSD; there doubtless
exists other hardware with the capability that NetBSD does not support.

As for your 3c509b, you may have to explicitly set the media type; what
does ifconfig -m report for it?
