Thanks for the offer. Since then, I've been able to set up
a NetBSD VM, which is probably a reasonable CI environment.

However, the other reason why netbsd isn't in the supported
list is that when I tried compiling it it didn't pass the basic
'make; make check' test. So obviously nobody's been
using or testing it :-(

You could start with looking at the compile failures
and submitting patches.
