I used to run a few 1.6 servers on m68k Macs and Amigas back in the day 
with Apache, PHP, MySQL, and so forth. However, pkgsrc is moving past 1.6, 
so it's not as easy as it used to be - not everything works out of the 
box.

You could try these:

ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/NetBSD-3.0-mac68ksoftfloat/

They're from a year ago, but it might prove a good starting point. I 
believe that everything is committed so that you can also build softfloat 
from source.

Yes, NetBSD-2 was pretty much a wash for m68k machines. NetBSD-4 was just 
branched, and seems completely stable now on my Quadras. I'll try to build 
a softfloat NetBSD-4 release...
