None what so ever. The processor on the Handsping (and all other current
PalmOS based devices) doesn't have an MMU and most UNIX-like OSes assume
you have one. There is a Linux port of some sort and I've heard mention
that there's some intrest in the NetBSD community, but itty-bitty,
feature-poor processors don't really fit with FreeBSD's server/embedded
(generally high-end embedded systems) focus. In the future there may
be PalmOS based devices that you could port FreeBSD to, but that will
be after then finish the hardware abstraction layer. Once someone gets
around to doing the work, the StrongARM port should work on HP iPAQs,
but that's not what you were asking.
