You can only run SunOS binaries which are compiled for m68k (ie sun3)
machines on NetBSD m68k machines.  If you have SunOS-sparc binaries, you
need a NetBSD sparc machine.  Thats said, I've never tried to run a sun3
binary under NetBSD m68k, but I'm running SunOs-sparc netscape binaries on
my NetBSD/sparc machine.
