If by MIPS you mean the Silicon Graphics machines, then yes. FreeBSD has a MIPS port in the works, but as far as I can tell it's still considered highly experimental. However, you may want to help out if you have the time ;-) OpenBSD seems to have limited MIPS support: 64-bit only, so an O2 will work but an Indy probably won't. NetBSD just works. I've had it running on two SGI Indy machines without much of any kind of trouble. But then again, NetBSD runs on just about everything.
