Recommendation for a Big Endian System for NIC Driver Development

I'm looking for a recommendation for a big endian CPU system that
works well with FreeBSD.  It would be best if it didn't use a 4KB
page size but that's a secondary issue.  The system should support
PCI Express with at least two x8 slots and PCI-X would be a plus.
A half-height or full-height rack style chassis would be best,
though a tower configuration would also be suitable.

I want to do some wider testing on non-Intel based systems with
current and new Broadcom drivers.  Feel free to email me directly
if you have a suggestion.
