Yes.  Most of the pieces are there.  But, if you aren't going to
champion it, who will?  gcc can be configured, as for PowerPC, and we
have a PowerPC simulator, so you just always compile up for one, and
then simulate it on the local machine.  You can wire in local GUI
libraries and hook into Java and Tcl and what-not just fine...
