Lots. the  MIT sample implementation is software only, so it is more
appropriate to ask what unix it supports.  We have built it here
on SGI, DEC, Sun, IBM, Omron boxes. I know it also builds on
Data General, E&S, and at least a few others I may be forgetting...
The sample implementation does not provide support for hardware
accelerators.

There are many commercial implementations.  Ask your favorite vendor.

I run the MIT Sample Implementation here on an SGI only because SGI
Has donated proprietary code.  We can not distribute this code unfortunately.
In theory if you had the correct proprietary support from SGI you could
run PEX on X11R4 servers.  I believe some of the commercially available
PEX implementations are based on X11R4 servers.
