Not likely, the Mac-ROMs I have seen on those all contain powerpc code
hidden below a thin layer of FORTH. I do not claim to know all ( or
even most ) of those, so...

If you happen to have a symbios logic UW-SCSI controller ( supported by
the esiop(4) driver ) it will likely Just Work(tm) regardless of what's
in the card's ROM - the U5 and U10 have drivers for those in their own
ROMs.

have fun
