Doable, right from pkgsrc, although may be slow

Doable out of the box, works slick.

Take a look at matchbox and gpe on handhelds.org.  Both seem like
perfect fits for a 68k mac running NetBSD.  I'm working on building
matchbox as we speak on my SE/30, then will move on to gpe.  Given
that both projects seem to be targeting linux directly, I may be
posting requesting help porting.  Matchbox is in pkgsrc but horribly
out of date.
