You're going to have to explain things a bit more clearly than that.

First, what do you mean by "remote kernel debugging"? As in, using a
pty as opposed to being logged in on the console? If so, the answer's
yes, as long as you don't need things in single user mode.
(Actually... if you set OF to the serial port, you could do things
"remotely" at the other end of a serial cable and boot single user, I
think.)

Second, define "on the MAC". Using Macintosh hardware? If that's what
you mean, then of course, that's how port-macppc has been developed.
If you mean while using MacOS, only if you telnet/ssh into your
NetBSD/macppc machien from another mac (which is running MacOS).
