My cats machine can't configure its ethernet mii any more with this change 
(well, 24 hours ago).

Apr 19 23:19:52 osprey /netbsd: tlp0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0: DECchip

Previous kernel (with working de0) had:

Apr 19 23:30:40 osprey /netbsd: Digital Equipment DECchip 21140 
("FasterNet") 10
/100 Ethernet (ethernet network, revision 0x22) at ? dev 9 function 0 
(intrswiz
0, intrpin 0x1, i/o on, mem on, no quirks)
Apr 19 23:30:40 osprey /netbsd: de0: interrupting at irq 8
Apr 19 23:30:40 osprey /netbsd: de0: 21140A [10-100Mb/s] pass 2.2
Apr 19 23:30:40 osprey /netbsd: de0: address 00:40:05:51:3b:b2

I guess the kernel is just missing the relevant MII PHYS stuff, but I've 
no idea which ones are needed.
