Yes and no.  Both Russ and I have versions of it
that are fairly complete (but unfortunately a bit
different -- I'd like to squash those differences,
but haven't got the time yet).  Part of the problem
seems to be whether or not you just want to port
Plan 9 software or want something for writing new,
portable software.  Neither of us seem to be very
happy with what we've got, but unless you need a
fairly complete environment, I'd suggest using
Russ's more unix-friendly ports of the utf, print,
and threading code.  I don't think anyone has done
much with graphics...
