I can report that the G4(AGP) [late 2000] model supports slave booting.  Mac
OS (either incarnation) will happily boot off either master or slave. 
NetBSD will boot off either, but default build always looks at wd0 (the
master) for the root volume, regardless of what drive the kernel is resident
on.

I'd recommend putting NetBSD on the master (wd0) and any MacOS stuff on the
slave.  ofwboot.xcf goes on an HFS+ partition on the slave.
