they *used* to exist (IIRC, NT-sparc has never been released ; MIPS, Alpha
and PPC existed in the pre-4.0 era, only Alpha made it to 4.0. All were
"abandoned" after 4.0)

things are a bit different. Nobody sees MS porting again NT (win32) outside
of x86, at least for 32-bit machines. I'm pretty sure someone proficient and
motivated enough to complete a port of a microkernel able to run HURD on
other architectures (or even port HURD to another good microkernel even on
x86) would be received with open arms.
