If you try applying http://codereview.appspot.com/3816043/ you can get
pretty far..
you need to
cd src/pkg
make clean
GOOS=plan9 make -k install

You'll get os, syscall, fmt and a bunch of other portable go libraries.

I think that you can produce a "C" hello world pretty easily if you
provide stubs for 8l (like morestack and etc.) and use GOOS=plan9 8l
-s to link you stuff together.
