It's another BSD family member you want in this case: NetBSD. See
http://www.netbsd.org/ for more details (or go directly to the pmax port
page, http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/pmax/index.html).

If you decide on running it, you might want to join the port-pmax mailing
list too. There is information on the NetBSD mailing lists on the web site
as well.
