Nope. But it shouldn't be too difficult. If the system is *not* IBM PC
legacy compatible it will probably be easier than the initial port of BSD
to the i386 platform.

The NetBSD-i386 kernel assumes that there *is* a BIOS which it e.g. can
used to query the memory size.

You probably need to create a new NetBSD port based on the i386 architecture
like e.g. NetBSD xen.
