I would love to build and play the game natively in a 9 system, using the original sources or maybe using a port of Xash3D for 9. AFAIK, the original Half-Life sources are distributed alongside the Half-Life SDK. One of the main hurdles is that the game is written in C++, so that rules out any attempt of just adapting the source code to make it work with the C compiler. Xash3D is written in C, so that gives me a bit of hope. Just to be clear: I'm not in any way asking for it to be done expecting to have it soon. I'm aware of (some?) of the difficulties of such a project. But if someone decides to work on it and ends up with a playable result, I'll be more than willing to thank him with this bounty.
