NetBSD SMP is only "on the trunk" for Alpha and VAX.  i386 is still on a
branch, but one of the main developers let slip the other day that
pulling it down to the trunk is next on his priority list.  Sparc and
Sparc64 are perhaps close, but who knows how close?  Do any other
already-supported architectures matter to anyone?
