In the past, I've been able to build the M3 system on a Sun-3 (with a 
68030), based on the Sparc sources. So although it is machine-specific, 
it can be ported without too much trouble. You'll need to specify a few 
OS dependant things, and also some C-compiler related things like data 
alignment etc.

Best regards,
Ben
