I believe netcdf has been ported and used on CM-5, a numbre
of years ago.

Of course, since netCDF is essentially I/O bound, it
doesn't benefit significantly from massive parallelism.
As I recall, it essentially runs on the "front end" machine
in a CM architecture. This reduces your question to 
"Has anyone ported netCDF to a CM front end machine, eg,
a vax or sun" and the answer is yes.
