I did notice that NetBSD/sun3 broke a bit after 1.3.3 too.  Specifically, 1.4
and onwards fails to run XSunMono for me.

Was this time period when UVM was being added?

A new, totally rewritten virtual memory subsystem, UVM, created by Chuck
Cranor, which is substantially cleaner and better performing than the old Mach
derived VM subsystem. >>

Yup. "substantially cleaner and borkener"
