I'm doing just that on mine.

Not really.

Yes. ( use options APPLE_UFS )
You can install NetBSD into an Apple UFS partition, just put ofwboot.xcf
on the OSX partition, the kernel can be on the UFS partition ( you'll
need to use something like this as boot command: boot hd:ofwboot.xcf
hd:7/netbsd - my UFS partition is number 7 ;) )

have fun
Michael
