NetBSD can do anything the X11 server can do.  If you've got support in
your X11 server for multi-headed operation, then it'll work.
Multi-headed operation is rarely something of any concern to the O/S
itself directly (provided that the display device driver(s) will handle
multiple frame buffer cards or whatever).

NetBSD's Xsun (from the NetBSD xsrc tree) seems to have multi-headed
support.

       -zaphod This  option disables switching between screens by
               sliding the mouse off the  left  or  right  edges.
               With this disabled, a window manager function must
               be used to switch between screens.
