No. According the author of Phase 5's PPC software the PPC can access
the Amiga's complete memory area. So a NetBSD-AmiPPC could works without
any 680x0 stuff. But IMHO it should be signed in a way that 680x0
binaries can be executed in a kind of emulation like e.g. the Linux
emulation of the i386 port.
