It's not "artificial", it's just because it wasn't tested.

If the build works (and only if) you will want to make a ticket with a
proper patch attached. See:

This is the reason why NetBSD was not listed in the tested platforms and
configure told you so, because it wasn't tested and probably didn't work
with the defaults.

It's in:
build/jam/HelperRules: Exit Unsupported
$(platformKind) platform:
$(platform) ;
it's a rule used in build/jam/BuildSetup :
# check the host platform compatibility
SetPlatformCompatibilityFlagVariables HOST_PLATFORM : HOST : host
: linux openbsd freebsd darwin sunos cygwin ;
You'll want to add there as well.

It should be in build/jam/ just like the template IIRC.
Anyway, you don't need it.
