No, I don't think that is currently under development. Recent PReP development has focusses on properly modelling the needed devices (e.g., pc87312). There are patches around to add a new 40P PReP machine [1] but I don't remember whether that was SMP-capable. The BeBox [2] has two processors but our emulation attempts didn't get very far yet.
