By any chance, have you seen our About page:
http://www.netbsd.org/about/ ? The second paragraph reads thus:
-----
One of the primary focuses of the NetBSD project has been to make
the base OS highly portable. This has resulted in NetBSD being
ported to a large number of hardware platforms. NetBSD is also
interoperable, implementing many standard APIs and network protocols,
and emulating many other systems' ABIs.
-----
Emulating other systems is fundamental to what NetBSD is about.
This is a really simplistic answer. It is not difficult to see that our
website does not reflect reality at all.
