I just ported (not really) uemacs 3.11a to 386BSD.  I grabbed the source
I had for the DECstation, and I had to change two lines in one of the
files to include <sys/ioctl_compat.h> just before <sys/ioctl.h>, and 
things compiled w/out a hitch.

Also, since uemacs and beav (binary editor) have the same roots, I
also ported beav 1.32 to 386BSD.  Both work great, with one little
funny thing so far. When run under screen, you must type CTRL-V twice
to do a page-down.  Under a normal tty it works fine, so I suspect
screen is doing something funny.

If you want the source, I could put it up for ftp somewhere, but it
was SIMPLE!!! to compile.

I am also working on mush 7.2.4, but I am getting Segmentation faults
in sglob.  Don't know why, but I suspect it's some assumption I made
when changing things to compile.
