as far as i understand it something similar has been done by Niklas
Halquist using inline functions for inb/outb and friends when he wrote 
support for isa cards in Amigas with bridgeboards for NetBSD 2 years ago. 

It was possible to compile
some of isa drivers in NetBSD-Amiga and successfully use them.
Last i heard was that he began to integrate some of the neccessary
changes to the interrupt system into openbsd.
Unfortunatly it never made it into NetBSD.
