Don`t discount Grub, it is very strong and plan9 friendly, It installs to the MBR, fdisk on linux has an option to clear it , a windows fdisk will erase it with fdisk /mbr , or you can dd 512 out of /dev/zero to the MBR.
For GRUB all you need is to define the root partition for 9
In the grub shell try:
root (hd0,0) /*or what ever your 9 part is */
rootnoverify
chainloader +1
boot

I think developper just don't have time to do it.
If someone wants to use grub, s/he can do it, I suppose.

Grub's great. I use it every day.
But if all you run on your machine is
Plan 9, you have no need for it.

Probably, most of 'Plan 9 user' do install it, and touch it
for a while like now, durin summer vacation, and forget it
soon... ☺
By the way, Russ are you using Linux not BSDs?
