Ahhh? Are you mixing up FreeBSD and NetBSD? FreeBSD is a PeeCee (and
Alpha) thing while NetBSD is the multi platform OS that runs on VAXen
and around two dozen other architectures.
Besides that, I think it would be hard to turn a *ix kernel in a VMS
like kernel. E. g. VMS has a very different security and shared library
model.
