As far as I know, nobody is working on a DEC UNIX/Tru64 port. Anybody else know of one? If not, I'd say "go for it!".
There are many ports now, so looking at the existing files should be a good guide to what needs to be done. Pick a UNIX port that is "close to" DEC UNIX, and copy the files, and start from there. The compiler and linker will usually tell you 95% of the problems! The rest of the problems are usually due to specific platform issues, and you just have to work through them one at a time... Feel free to ask here for advice!
