I think quite the opposite is true: having an almost identical driver in the tree simply obscures the matter more. The two will diverge in time, and the NetBSD one will slowly bitrot. Now that the two are the closest it's the time to document the differences and integrate them in the OSS driver.
I think that the future of Linux sound will be more with alsa than with oss. AFAIK, alsa does not exist with xxxBSD, so in my opinion, using and supporting the respective interfaces instead of oss makes more sense.
