According to the ppbus(4) documentation,there appears to be support for such
device - ppi(4) - see below:
o a user interface named ppi(4) that allows parallel port access
from outside the kernel without conflicting with kernel-in
drivers.
However, I failed to source the man page for ppi(4). I've posted an email to
the relevant NetBSD mailing list for more info about this interface.

I have a Microtune 4707 tuner and would be interested in supporting this in
hamlib if it is of any interest. I haven't compared the docs for 4702 and
4707 but suspect that it should be relatively easy to support both. I was
planing to build a daughter board connecting the tuner to the USRP.
