Higher-end Amigas (the 2500 and 3000, I think, and perhaps the 2000)
have a MMU; there is a port of Linux to these machines (I don't know what
state it's in at the moment though). A port of Plan 9 to such Amigas 
would be possible (how much demand there'd be for it is another question,
but if there's at least one die-hard Amiga hacker with a Plan 9 CD and
some spare time, there's enough ;-) ).

Another nice thing is that, once an Amiga port exists, an Atari port 
would be trivial. The Amiga and Atari versions of Linux/68k run off the
same binaries, and perhaps even dual-purpose kernel images.
