NeXTStep may be cute, but certainly not necessary to bring a machine like the
Falcon into a workstation-style arena. There is currently a PD port of 4.3 BSD
for Intel 386 on a number of archive sites. It wouldn't be too hard to grab the
source for that and get it running on a 68030 box. I personally would rather
have real BSD instead of NeXTStep on MACH anyway. Especially since there would
be no licensing fees for the real BSD code.
