Help: grass port to HP700 series?

I expect soon to be given authorization to buy a UNIX workstation
for GIS work, and I am quite interested in porting GRASS to the
station I buy. I am impressed by the new Hewlett-Packard 700 series
computers. Has anyone ported GRASS to this platform? (Commercial
or individual?) I hope to try to port it myself, if it isn't too
difficult. Any help, tips, referrals are appreciated. Thanks.

Tim.
