You might hit the web-server that is at www.netbsd.org and hit
Gunnar's documentation.  It lists the compatible hardware.  I cannot
recall if 11/730 is supported. I think so, but check.  

As to whether it is worth the time... I hate to see a good computer
(though slow!) go to waste, so it if it is a matter of what is this
&^%^$*^$*$ un*x???!  Then I say more power to you and it is a worth-
while endeavor.  Otherwise, I would suggest some more potent equipment.
(It seems like there are a lot of bigger Vaxen readily available.  I
got a loaded 3500 for about $300).
