It works on x86. I'm not aware of any endian problems in the current
"nv" driver. I think I even got an NV17 working at one time, but it
was highly dependent on the fcode. The offb driver I was using clearly
had bugs that would prevent nvidia cards with newer fcode (with child
nodes for the individual heads) from working properly.
