Not exactly. You can choose Open Transport by using the Network
Software Selector (the name could be slightly different) usually
stuck into the Apple Extra's folder by an installer.

Just do a custom install and make sure the NSS and OT are installed.

OT is supported on a older machines, btw- a Quadra 700 I am certain
(since I am currently doing that when the Quadra under my desk isn't
booted into NetBSD) and I think as far back as 030's, though I am not
certain.
