  Well, I can see that NetBSD won't be running on my
main system
 any time soon, since I have two CPUs.  I'm surprised to hear
 that NetBSD is just now supporting SMP as I thought that would
 have been supported already. 
  It took forever because most of the SMP code is machine-independent.
Since most of the groundwork is now done, the folks working on
different architectures only have the machine-specific stuff to do.
VAX followed Alpha by a matter of a couple of weeks at most, for
example.
