 This problem *is* still relevant:
 
    src/sys/arch/macppc/macppc/machdep.c
 
       1  /*      $NetBSD: machdep.c,v 1.164 2012/12/11 03:00:00 macallan Exp $
 ......
     154  /*
     155   * Crash dump handling.
     156   */
     157
     158  void
     159  dumpsys(void)
     160  {
     161          printf("dumpsys: TBD\n");
     162  }
 ......

 Similarly, kernel dumps have not been supported by other powerpc ports.
 
 Thanks,
