Another port directory is (almost) always no problem. "Some
modifications to the sources" needs some clarification and examples; I'm
not sure what APIs NetWare supports and if they are nothing close to the
Posix set of APIs we are currently using there may need to be some
discussion on whether it is appropriate. But, we need the examples first
;)

So, give a short description of the kinds of things which are different
in NetWare. Are there just a few areas of differences, or is every API
different? If the latter (and especially if they are different from
every other API in the world) then we may not be happy with large
additions to the sources, but would be happy supporting it as a patch
set.

But those possibilities are just speculation until we have more details
on what is required for the port. And the group discusses it, so please
don't infer a decision from my hints or suggestions above.

And welcome to PostgreSQL development!
