This is not really true. NetBSD may be the first on Motorola VME PowerPC boards but OpenBSD, NetBSD and Linuxare running on the previous versions of those VME boards based around the Motorola 68000 series of processors.
NetBSD is not completly on new grounds here [they already had PowerPC and VME code]. For the kind of application these machine runs, having a free OS alternative will be more usefull to companies than having something using a restrictive licence like Linux and Darwin.
