I haven't tried it that way round, but I have debugged a Linux kernel
over a serial line with FreeBSD gdb.  That suggests that it might work
the other way round, too.  Unfortunately, my experience with NetBSD
doesn't bear this out: I can debug a NetBSD kernel with FreeBSD gdb,
but not the other way round.
