Well, a lot of code can certainly be borrowed, but almost none of it
    will be a drop-in replacement.

    What I recommend you do is not worry about doing a full port and instead
    just make a big dent by getting the boot sequence to bootstrap into a
    64-bit built DragonFly kernel.  Even if you can't get it much past that
    it would be progress.  Just getting it to boot that far is probably
    a big job unto itself.
