In the main menu, go to File | New Project. What are the Categories that you see there?
Opening the whole repo as a project, except as an Ant Freeform project, is not supported -- as pointed out above, the project.xml in nbbuild defines an Ant Freeform project. However, opening individual modules is definitely possible -- assuming you have installed NetBeans with Java support, i.e., then you'll have "NetBeans Modules" in the Categories list in the New Project dialog.
