OLPC (One Laptop Per Child) project had announced "Buy 2 Get 1" (G1G1) for public. One XO laptop will be sent to the buyer and one laptop will be sent to a child in a poor, developing country.

The XO laptops use AMD Geode CPU, but without standard PC BIOS and without VGA/EGA/CGA.
The XO laptops do not support off-the-shelf/unmodified Linux. Linux run on top of XO with modified/patched kernel.

Is it possible to port FreeBSD for ia32 to OLPC XO laptops?
Who can do this project?
Thank you.
