Not yet. AFAIK, work is being done on this.
:)Also, if this info is available elsewhere, where at?
The INSTALL docs. They say:
Multiple processors
Note: Although NetBSD/macppc can boot with more than one processor present,
it will not use the additional CPUs
Also, the FAQ lists (under "NetBSD/macppc does not yet support"):
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/macppc/faq.html#peripherals
Use of more than one processor (the extra CPUs sit idle)
