Yes.  Although I did the port on qemu (but it's known to work on XO).

LinuxBIOS (now CoreBoot) is just the low level initialization.  OpenBIOS
is an implementation of IEEE-1275 that can be run on top of CoreBoot as

Our i386-linuxbios port makes GRUB run as payload directly, where it has
to access hardware by itself, etc.
