Well. If it is an PowerStack II [1] you may be in luck some time in the
future. I have a half working port of NetBSD for the PowerStack II.
Unfortunately I have an obscure problem with accessing the PCI bus on
this hardware. So I put this port on ice. But I may get back to this
once I have solved other problems. (i.e. a port to the IBM RS/6000
43P-150 and B50. This port is related to the PowerStack II port so if I
get the IBM to work this is also of benefit for the PowerStack II.)

[1] Go to the OpenFormware and type
dev /
.properties
If it reports
name                     MOT,PowerStack_II_Pro4000
You may get NetBSD some day.
