The University of Utah has done the port, and they distribute it for FREE !!
Send mail to hpbsd@cs.utah.edu inquiring for the tapes.
I am using it and it works quite well, although some bugs remain.
You also get the advantage of compatibility with hpux binaries
(I tried it with hpclII, and it works quite well).

Their support is excellent (my questions and bug reports have been answered
and resolved immediately)
