I would, but since I currently work for IBM, it's not going to happen.
(Under the terms of my current IP agreement with IBM, if I port XFS to
FreeBSD, IBM will "own" the FreeBSD XFS port -- something I doubt SGI would
be happy about.  Believe me, I hate my IP agreement and want to change it,
but I don't have the $$ for lawyers right now.)
