As of Thursday last week the answer unfortunatly was no it isn't.
I attended the launch of SVR4.0 in Stockholm Sweden. The repesentatives there
from AT&T, Unix International and X/Open  all stated that there was only one
vendor who ( last week ) had released a SVR4.0 product for commercial 
availability. 

The Only available SVR4.0 product today is the DRS6000 SPARC based system 
from International Computers Ltd. The product has so far been released in the
U.K. and in Sweden.  The DRS6000 is a system for up to 200 concurrent users
with 128 Mb RAM and 19 Gb Disc doing 23 MIPS.

SPARC is a Trademark of Sun Microsystems.
UNIX is a Trademark of AT&T
