I don't know the official status, but the binary worked in my experience.
I had the SETI@home client running on a DEC Server 3305 (NetBSD 1.4.1)
back in the fall with no real problems.  Only difficulty I encountered
was touching the "stop_after_send.txt" file didn't work to make it stop
running after the current data set as the man page states.  Had to ^c.
Also, not sure if the -stop_after_* flags worked either.

Still, it did get the data, crunch it, and (90% of the time) send it
back successfully.
