I don't see how it can be supported. But most programs don't need it.

Well, the usual way would be to compute the value into a register and then store it into .+n and have a call 0 follow that code and then, presto, you get a call n... if data and instructions are not separated and instruction memory is writable. Threading code doesn't `work' necessarily, but, that probably isn't an issue on such machines.
