A database proper wants a front end (web, likely) and
make sense if you have relations going on.

I'm thinking that, depending on the info you want in it,
much of this could simply live in an LDAP branch.

ReadMuch, write rarely, no relations, globally available from a
command line (I really find sourceforge a pain to use).  A web
front end could query it, but then a pkg/ could simple be a single
php page or CGI script + a page to query LDAP and make it all
pretty.

Tree branches might be:
   OU=SupportedHardware,dc=netbsd,dc=org
      ou=i386,ou=SupportedHardware,dc=netbsd,dc=org
      ou=sparc,ou=SupportedHardware,dc=netbsd,dc=org
      ou=arm,ou=SupportedHardware,dc=netbsd,dc=org
