That's sure what it looked like to me ... I think basically what they did 
is make OSF MK 6.1 run on the PowerMac, and tweak their existing Linux 
server that appears to already run on the x86.

BSD server on top of MK 6.1 is easy ... it's been done :-)  One neat 
thing about deriving a native NetBSD port from Mach sources is that, for 
the most part, the pmap is done ... will probably just require some 
tweaking.  The rest might be a bit uglier, though.
