Worse things could happen :^)
I haven't heard from him either (since I sent out my first inquiry July
19th). But all things considered it should be a bit easier to port
NetBSD/mac68k to FreeBSD than it would with the Alpha bits, considering
that you can setup a m68k-aout cross compiler pretty easily ('course easy
is a relative term).
FWIW, NetBSD works quite well on mac68k, but the biggest problem so far is
the lack of virtual consoles (dt is awful).
