Just wondering if there is any effort underway to allow NetBSD to run on RPI5 without a hack. (i.e. directly without having to install something on the SD card and requiring an external USB drive).
Not sure what you mean by without a hack, but it's possible to run NetBSD on an RPI5 without an SD card or an external USB drive, e.g.
https://dmesgd.nycbug.org/dmesgd?do=view&id=8470
which is one of my RPI5s
See

and particularly the UEFI booting section.
