We had NetBSD/powerpc running on a Bull Estrella (based on the old
Ultra board) with the OFW drivers just fine about a year ago.

However, we had to scare up OFW firmware which was not easy.
By default these board come with PPCbug and are unable to run
NetBSD/powerpc.

You'd want to check the availablility of OFW before buying such a system.
