Yes or No ?Sources only? I don't think so, at least not until Project Emancipation is complete. After that, I'm not sure what other pieces are missing that are required. (And then it would be just the core UNIX brand - for Unix Workstation, you need CDE, which is right out.)
What you would need for just the UNIX brand (not UNIX Workstation) would be the libraries, headers, commands, utilities, a conforming C compiler and then after that you would optionally need things like asy serial drivers if you wanted to brand with those optional things supported.
A list could be made of everything that would be needed (though it would take a bit of time).
I am really curious now how much is missing from the sources currently available. I will have to look at this.
