My idea for NetBSD/OpenBSD/Dragonfly is that one emulates FreeBSD on these 
systems. If you look here:

http://www.turbocat.net/~hselasky/isdn4bsd/sources/module/

You will see a FreeBSD kernel emulator for NetBSD 2/3. It supports the most 
important things found in the FreeBSD kernel. I have some plans to extend it 
so that it also covers the USB subsystem. It would work with many USB device 
drivers, but not all.
