Someone popped up on the mailing list with one not so very long ago.
Wonder if he's still around...

I was under the impression that Mac OS X (or the software version of
the Mac OS ROM?) was hamstrung such that it wouldn't run on (say)
PowerComputing machines. Is that not true?

At any rate, my point was NetBSD will runs on more Apple hardware
than Mac OS X does right now if you take a few moments to understand
how to install it, while there is simply no way to run Mac OS X on
(say) my old Performa 636. This, perhaps, is wheat better for
netbsd-advocacy's mill, though. :^>
