The only major thing preventing this will be the lack of sbus suppport. 
Chances are that we'll have that at some point, especially since the
SPARCstation 5/10/20 machines all use sbus, so someday you will hopefully
be able to run FreeBSD on it.  I don't know how hard it will be to write
the sbus code.  About as hard as PCI?
