plan 9 does support the marvell chipset.  for example:
	http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AoC-SAT2-MV8.cfm
this is an inexpensive card.

as for on-board sata, plan 9 does support the sata on nforce430 
(and maybe most nforce) boards, but doesn't seem to support 
many modes of ich[5-] sata+pata hackery.  i think fixing that
would yield the most bang-for-the-buck.

personally, these things are also at the top of my list
- usb ohic and ehic.
- gbit ethernet: forcedeth, tg3.
