Actually I wouldn't mind seeing a supported method of running the FreeBSD
userland on any given NetBSD kernel under any random arch.  This would
satisfy 90% of the issues I have that lead to "if only FreeBSD ran on X."

This, of course, is even more unlikely than a full port to a new arch
given the nature of moving targets.
