The chances will rise considerably if you do the most boring,
frustrating and time-consuming part of any port yourself: finding
_adequate_ documentation. With good doco, ports can be (relatively) easy
and fun. On the one hand, the age of the machine will reduce the
reluctance of SGI to release documentation for it, on the grounds that
there's no intellectual property to be lost; on the other hand, the age
will substantially raise the chances of all doco being in some landfill.
Try and get some docs from somewhere; posting in newsgroups such as
comp.sys.sgi (if it exists) can yield useful results, as can polite
letters to middle management at SGI (top management doesn't have the
time, grunts don't have permission).
Hope that helps a bit.
