It's (supposed to be!) supported on all NetBSD ports.

It should be there.

I just bought a Personal DECstation 5000/25, and looked at the pmax conf
files for the first time today.  IMHO, they need a major overhaul and a lot
less `include's.

Hm.  Maybe it was a problem when NetBSD/mips was on Mach VM, but not now
that -current is on UVM?  I'd guess that it should work in NetBSD-current,
at least.
