For the most part.

Unless my info's out of date...
You should be able to share binaries between amiga, atari, sun3,
mac68k, and mvme68k.  These are all m68k8k binaries.  The hp300
uses m68k4k.

There are, of course, exceptions.  These ports differ in h/w interface,
of course, so iteconfig, for example, won't work on the Mac and the Mac
X server won't work on the Amiga.  Some system utilities are different,
too, but most binaries should be fine.
