I think there was a slight misunderstanding. Great parts of AmigaOS were
originally compiled with the Greenhill compiler on Sun3 workstations,
and not on Amiga. So the major part was to make that compiler work on
NetBSD/amiga, which was not that big a deal, because NetBSD/amiga is
binary compatible with Sun3 binaries (m68k).
AmigaOS programs were _not_ made to run on NetBSD, nothing of it was
ported to NetBSD, it was just built.

This has nothing at all to do with porting the core of the AmigaOS operating
system to another hardware platform.
