have a look at
http://rfhs8012.fh-regensburg.de/~feyrer/NetBSD/builddb/listdb.php3
This doesn't include my latest i386/al5_ALPHA build as i sweeped the
entries by accident (Did I mention the bulk machine's also my
development machine?).

If you get us a nice fast(!) box, i'd be willing to set things up on it.
Contact me privately for more requirements (e.g. 75G disk is absolute
overkill :-)
