not for internal video and external is still experimental.

you might try one of paul goyette's slotman kernels.  you can pick one up
at:

ftp://ftp.whooppee.com/pub/slotman

it should support some color nubus boards.  ken nakata's latest color X
server (the OSFA server) supports 8-bit color on nubus boards, and 16-bit
color on internal video (but the q700 can't do 16-bit color if i remember
correctly).  you can get it here:

ftp://ftp.macbsd.com/pub/X/

internal ethernet should work just fine (provided you have the proper
AAUI adapter...which reminds me, i need to get one ;-)

later.
