OpenBSD and Plan 9 pretty much work already, even if the ports might not be as polished as FreeBSD.

Also there is gccgo, which AFAIK also works on Solaris and probably elsewhere.

Yes, it works on IRIX and RTEMS (an embedded OS), and the gc suite was also ported on Ethos.

I'd also like to add that the gc compilers support ARM as well as x86 and amd64 and are very, very easy to port to new platforms.
