System VR4 isn't released yet, true.  That doesn't imply that it's unstable,
it simply means that you don't have it yet unless you're beta testing it.

As for porting, you don't port to Amiga UNIX, Apple UNIX, etc.  You port to
680x0 UNIX, and all compliant 680x0 ports run the same binary.  That's one
of the most important goals of the new UNIX implementation -- shrinkwrapped
UNIX software.
