I know little about nothing in this regard, but given a zBx with an Intel processor (that, along with POWER7, is available right?), I can't see why you'd have to recompile anything. And in fact, could you not run Windows, Linux for Intel, and Solaris for Intel on zBx? Wouldn't you just be moving from standalone servers to "zBx blades"?
I think there is some confusion where some have mis-interpreted this as moving to Linux for z, but it looks to me like this is not your intent.
