Why don't you look at the patches required to get AFS working on Sparc
Linux?  I believe that port was the cleanest example of an Openafs
port that was just a port to a new arch and that (at least for 2.2.x)
works.  The PPC port came in at about the same time as Linux 2.4
support and the Darwin port is ambitious.
