Hi Mark,

  The server, no, but I can't see any reason why client
libs wouldn't build. It would be a good test.

  I'm hoping the X server won't be too much of a problem
since the graphics h/w on Macs is pretty much standard
PCI/AGP stuff, and it already runs on NetBSD/OpenBSD/Linux PPC.

later,

Peter.
