>   1) Does NetBSD support any type of GPS receiver with a PPS feed?

I'm running a Motorola M12 Oncore on -current (and have for the last
year or two).  I picked up a developer's kit from Synergy
(http://www.synergy-gps.com/) a few years back for $99.  Unfortunately
the prices vary wildly for these kinds of kits, and I don't see
anything available cheaply that comes with the ttl-to-rs232 adaptor
board you'll need if you want to hook this up to a comm port.

The PPS appears to have will under 1ms fuzz, but I don't have any real
way of measuring that other than trusting what ntpd prints out with
"ntpq -p" and puts into the clockstats file.

PPS has 2 modes, one where the kernel uses the PPS signal to steer an
in-kernel software oscillator.  This mode is doesn't work very well
and is deprecated as far as I can tell.  There is another mode where
the PPS simply timestamps the PPS transition and then passes that up
to userland and into a software oscillator running inside ntpd.  That
mode works fine and is the mode I've been using.
