What's interesting about your off-topic post is that it was to the VAX

Some of the people in the port-macppc group are trying to get PowerPC 601s
and NuBus-based PowerPC machines working in the NetBSD world.

Until they do, the only Unixy thing you can install right now is MkLinux
(see MkLinux.org).

But since you are getting many, make sure you save at least one so you can
help test NetBSD code on it.
