Hi There were efforts to port to arm which mostly works except for drivers. (There were also some people that developed ports but did not publish sources) A port to openpower and/or risc-v would be nice but atm. Nobody has the time/wilingness/resources to start such an endevour.
Developer/Hardware is simply not present in sufficient quantities in this community for such an endevour to succeed at this moment. We would be very happy if you could bring Developers/Hardware for that endevour. You will find very helpfull devs in the arm list which will get you started if you want to develop such a port. I asked about it a few months ago myself. Other than that unfortunately nothing. We are not that big of a community.
