For NetBSD 6.0 packages the choices are:

arm/
earm/
earmv4/
earmv6hf/
earmv7hf/
earmv7hfeb/
evbarm/

And only in the "arm" directory there are packages for NetBSD 6.0 but these 
don't work on the Broadcom BCM50319 SOC.

On http://wiki.netbsd.org/ports/evbarm/ it says in /arm tthey are oabi and 
the architecture version is todo?... very helpful :-)

see:

      MACHINE_ARCH bits ARM architecture version ABI
      arm 32 \todo ? oabi
      earm 32 alias for earmv5 (\todo why?) eabi
      earmv4 32 armv4 (no thumb, so ok on strongarm) eabi
      earmv5 32 armv5t eabi
      earmv6 32 armv6 eabi
      earmv7 32 armv7 eabi


The earmv5 work on older Airport's and TC's (flat pizza style box) but these 
run NetBSD 4.0 and packages are not available pre-compiled; nowhere; trust 
me... I searched everywhere...

The earmv7 supposedly work on the latest Airport and TC (the vertical box 
type) but these packages for NetBSD 6.0 are also nowhere to be found. And 
crosscompiling them doesn't work as I said earlier in this thread.

Especially interested in rsync... and Midnight Commander...

Yep, see above.

All other directories do not have NetBSD 6.0 packages anymore...
