Do you have documentation for the hardware?  That's always the
big question, and the answer is usually "no".

If you do, a port should be pretty easy, given the NetBSD Rx000
code and the FreeBSD code, with a machine in hand.

Probably, you would be better off running NetBSD at present.

PS: In the future, address questions like this to FreeBSD-platforms,
where I have posted this response...  see also:
