I have tried your CG3 branch.

NetBSD 6 can start and the console driver successfully detects a CG3.
(The next-property, keyboard and esp.c patches are still necessary...)

The 'small' problem is that there is no X CG3 driver installed ! Available
drivers are CG14, LEO, CG6, FFB (creator 3D) and TCX.
Both CG3 and TCX were removed from latest Xorg distribution (7.7), I guess
TCX is still in NetBSD because they forked it themselves.

The CG3 driver works with NetBSD 5.1 though.
