Feel free to discuss which ever. 

Personally, I doubt I would choose NetBSD for a workstation unless the
graphics available on it where so old that NetBSD took full advantage
of them.  Like perhaps the GX boards...

know if things like libdv have been ported?

Still, if I had a G4, it would be an OSX machine, not a NetBSD one.
