This is well possible. There are not that many supported machines with
this kind of SCSI adapter. I have none. Without hardware it is hard to
debug things...

Keep in mind that this FW SCSI bus is most likely High Voltage
Differential SCSI. So you can't connect Single Ended or Low Voltage
Differential devices to it.

This card has a Dino GSC to PCI bridge and the mentioned Tulip chip on
it. Support may be trivial to fix, but I would need access to this
hardware. Dino has a special "Card Mode" that may cause some
complications, but it should be doable. I tried to get one of those
cards on ePay only to write a driver for it, but I got outbid and I
did't want to sped lots of money for a card that I have no real need
for.

You can try a hack:
Replace HPPA_TYPE_BRIDGE with HPPA_TYPE_ADMA and HPPA_BRIDGE_DINO with
HPPA_ADMA_HSCPCI in src/sys/arch/hp700/dev/dino.c, recompile a kernel
and boot it.
