Please don't.  For better or worse, NetBSD picked KNF as a style
standard.  In this arena, any standard is better than every developer
picking their own different style: IOW, anarchy.  What you propose
above is not merely style anarchy, but (due to the decades-long
precedent of KNF in BSD code) a rather distasteful style of anarchy.

Just personally, on this one, given the large contingent of non-US
developers who have to deal with English code and comments, I'd go the
other way: accept normal (non-US) English spelling. To anyone used to
French (or even Latin, maybe other Romance languages), US spelling
changes are gratuitously weird.  (I mean, really, "amphitheatre" but
"theater"?)
