I have always been a fan of the way NetBSD is preconfigured as the least workable, leaving user preference entirely up to the user.
twm is still available in the base sources, you just have to have your own .xsession / .xinitrc to choose.

I don't really understand Uboot or even OpenBoot so I can only assume that you're right; that must be the difference. Incidentally, I could not get NetBSD to boot at all with other Uboots that I had found when I first got my PBP.the netbsd uboot for rockchip devices is derived originally from ayufan's releases, which are different to the standard mainline uboot in one key way. the second stage (u-boot.itb) is loaded from 256KB instead of 8MB. the main benefit is that you have one file to write to the device, vs two separate parts.
one thing that many uboot builds for other platforms have missing is the EFI support that netbsd efiboot relies upon. it may be possible to directly boot netbsd from uboot, but i am not at all familiar with this.
