There is an alpha version of G2 for linux available. I think it was
yesterday that Slashdot had a link to Weird Al's latest video (in G2
format). Take a look in the comments section for the link to where you
can download the G2 player (it doesn't seem to be reachable from any
links on Real's homepage). It worked fine on the Debian box where I
work so I assume it would work for NetBSD.

I never could get the plugin to work either so I just changed my
application preferences so that it would run "rvplayer %s" on any .rm,
.ram files. That works well enough for me.
