The statements are correct, but the problem's a bit worse than that. NetBSD
doesn't deal with variable types of disklabels; each port has its own.
So I doubt NetBSD/mac68k could help much, even if it were a SCSI drive.

One thing you could do, though, is read the whole disk to another disk.
If you have the free disk space, you could do something like

dd if=/dev/sd1c of=/mongofile

and then gzip the mongo file. You could then get this file to someone who
is running NetBSD/i386, and have them retrieve the files. Or even send it
to another Linux box, which would be quite happy.

Take care,
