gNewSense used on mipsel is metad, based on Debian Lenny which will be supported until February, so it probably is still updated. There is not much work needed to run gNewSense parkes (based on Squeeze) on mipsel, except for applying freedom patches to some packages (the generally largest problem is not currently working installer, but it doesn't affect updating existing systems). It would be very nice if laptops of architectures supported by Trisquel worked completely without user-modifiable nonfree software and were sold in such state, although now a Lemote YeeLoong with gNewSense or Parabola is an only such machine.
