There's no 9p implementation. =A0I thought about writing one
a couple times, and I'd love to do that (I want to write acme
extensions in Go), but it hasn't been a priority. =A0Another thorny
issue is what to name the package, since you can't start a
package name with a digit.

I was wonder= ing about that too and when I found out there was no 9P package for Go yet = I created this project page:=A0ht= tp://code.google.com/p/go9/. I thought go9 was a reasonable compromise = for the package name given we can't start with digits, though we can ch= ange that if anyone has a better idea.

There's no code in there yet because I just found o= ut about Go a few hours ago and am still wrapping my head around it. I prob= ably won't get something working for atleast a few weeks, so in the int= erim if someone wants to get started please pitch in and let's not dupl= icate work :-)
