I've successfully installed NetBSD 1.6.1 on a VAX simulator.  The
performance is actually quite reasonable on my AMD64 box.  It is
currently compiling GDB.

Anyway, I'm working on GDB's VAX target.  Hopefully I'll have a
working native NetBSD/vax configuration soon.  I'm already working on
frameifying vax-tdep.c.  So stay tuned, and don't throw away the
current VAX stuff just yet...

Been there, done that.  Per my earlier e-mails, NetBSD/VAX GDB doesn't 
build - the nat code is simply missing.

I've got a working NetBSD/vax GDB now.  The BSD-specific nat code is
already checked in :-).  I just need to tweak the config files, but I
don't want to do that now since that'll probably mean I'll have to
rebuild everything, which is a bit time-consuming.  I'll do that when
I'm finished rewriting the code in vax-tdep.c.

In the mean time, would it be a problem if frameifying the VAX would
nuke signal trampoline handling on Ultrix?  Not that I expect it to be
working...

That isn't a problem.  As shown by the MIPS (and HP/PA?) test results for:
