FYI-

   The Mac OS X booter is now available in source, and has some support
already in place which might make it easier to get it loading a NetBSD
kernel.  If there is an interest in doing so, we could have Mac OS
shipping with a stock booter that loads NetBSD, perhaps making some
things easier on your work.
