yes...several are.

Opus has a SPARC add-in that turns your PC into something of a SS1.
Runs SunOS and everything.

Several of the SPARC fab-houses make PC boards used for cross
development.

I dunno of anyone making a MIPS card equivalent of the Opus offering
(although such a card exsists for the Mac/NuBus).  Several of the MIPS
shops have development boards.
