Any plans to support SGI?

We have 150 Indigos, all running Kerberos4 and Zephyr, which I had to
painstakingly port over (and debug...  Zephyr as distributed by MIT
has a bunch of minor memory allocation holes which caused clients to
core dump all over the place under Irix 4.0.x).

I think DECathena would make our lives a whole lot easier here, but
alas, no SGI support.
