Yes, there are currently 2 ports that I have heard about.  The first does
not run "native" OS/2 2.0 code, but uses something called emx to help run
the binaries.  I believe that this one can only create text based apps (no
PM stuff).  The second one creates native OS/2 2.0 apps and has all the
stuff to allow for PM app creation.  This one does not currently have
a debugger.  This was created by Michael Johnson.

I hope that I have gotten this correct.  For further info, see the
comp.os.os2.misc and comp.os.os2.programmer groups.  There has been
much discussion and excitement about these two ports.  Also you can
find where they are available.
