It's a bit not obvious, but by searching at
./coreboot/src/mainboard/lenovo$ find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0
grep -n "R500" ----- I could see that R500 is a variant of Thinkpad
T400: i.e. " ./t400/Kconfig.name:10:config BOARD_LENOVO_R500 " . Since
this board_status table mentions each board type once, only T400
appears there.

So your R500 is supported by coreboot, almost certainly blobless.
coreboot's installation is identical to libreboot: you simply flash a
compiled BIOS image. Tool to change a mac address: I haven't checked
if it could be found in ./coreboot/util/ - but almost certainly a
libreboot's tool should be compatible with coreboot, and maybe
libreboot project took this tool from somewhere else where there's an
even newer version
