I think it should be possible to add an MMU to a small RISC-V core
(eg picorv32) to fit on BlackIce II or MX, but  I haven't tried
it myself.

You would also need some external RAM. I've been experimenting with
an 8MB hyperram chip, which is enough for bootstrapping the C compiler
in a "bare metal" setting, but a full Plan 9 would need lots more.
