Certainly. I for one have never been a fan of Intel, and wouldn't be
running x86 if there wasn't a decent BSD implementation available
(luckily there are 5-6 =).

Certainly. It has been said, that had the original IBM PC design used
the MC68000 (which was available at that time), the world would look
very different by now. It will be a cold day in hell before i scrap my
m68k-machines (Amigas etc., which all run NetBSD).
