Is there any hope of OpenBSD running on IBM Power hardware (System P, LPAR) in the future?

OS on that hardware without cooperation from IBM? I don't see any Linux distros that do not have a relationship with IBM that run on Power.
Slackware Linux has an IBM port, although it has not been updated for several years now: http://www.slack390.org
I am not sure what are the differences between largest IBM machines (System Z, formerly known as System/390), and smaller systems such as System P. But I am sure that Slackware project certainly does not have a relationship with any company.
By the way, as you probably know, Slackware is the oldest surviving Linux distribution, and adversises as the most "UNIX-like" among Linuxes. Also, its /etc layout is of BSD type, not System V like in other Linux distribution. The overall "look and feel" after instalation is similar to OpenBSD. Even the BSD games packages, with fortune program enabled by default is there. :)
