BSD or NetBSD? They are not the same... :-)

4.3Reno should work just fine on a MVII.
I don't know when the MVII got supported in BSD. I doubt that it's in 4.1,
so that means it's somewhere in the 4.2 to 4.3Reno timeframe.

As for NetBSD, the first VAX ports was around 0.9, but at that time I
think it was 11/750 only. So perhaps 1.0 is the earliest...?
