I am just now beginning a port to the MPC821, which is very similar to the  
MPC860.  

At this point, I'm learning how to cross-build the NetBSD source tree
(host=i386, target=ofppc, to begin with).  Over the next few weeks, I expect
to begin dealing with the differences in the memory management hardware,
the bootup sequence, and I/O drivers for the internal devices.

I too would very much like to share data and ideas.
