Although, if you DID want a NeXTSTEP-looking interface, there's always Window Maker. But be aware that X Windows would probably run slower than a rotting dog covered in tar.
My (limited) experience with NetBSD on my Quadra 700 tells me that the limiting factor is the hard drive. Untarring is slow. Moving files is slow. X isn't that bad though. Moving windows about and such is actually OK. It's not going to run Firefox, of course, but a text editor and an xterm or two will be fine.
