Oh, horsefeathers.  Speaking as someone who's been using A/UX since
before the boycott started, and has most of GNU's Greatest Hits in his
/usr/local/bin, the lack of "support" from the FSF is at most a minor
annoyance. And given that very little of the code actually cares about
the machine (as opposed to the processor and the OS), the prospects are that
porting GNU code to NetBSD/mac should be even easier.  In short, the only
effect of the boycott will be its usual one, provoking messages from RMS. 
Any effect on the NetBSD/mac project will be somewhere between 'slim' and
'none'.
