Interesting, but a hobbyist port for a 36-bit machine that was
end-of-lifed about 2 decades ago has little chance of success, unless
there are some very dedicated volunteers willing to maintain it and
champion it.  That doesn't seem to be the case, as the web site hasn't
been updated in 2 years, and the NetBSD port seems to have been dormant
for 2 years.

There are also possible copyright assignment issues here.  Do we know if
all of the contributors have valid copyright assignment papers?  If not,
then it isn't safe to borrow any code from there.
