It might take some work, but I suspect that Plan 9 is 
sufficiently similar to a POSIX OS that DMD will more-or-less run 
with a few tweaks to the build files.

The more interesting project would probably be to attach the D 
front end to a backend that produces Dis machine code, for 
Inferno. Since Inferno natively supports a garbage collector, a 
lot of the runtime could be excluded.
