If you've got some time after porting SableVM, check out 
http://bekaffe.sourceforge.net/ and 
http://bekaffe.sourceforge.net/screen.html :) ...

As usual, with ports that are not in the Kaffe main tree, it would take 
a willing BeOS developer to merge things back into the main tree on 
Kaffe.org [1], but you get the idea.[2]

On a side note, which BeOS are we talking about? BeOS 4/5/Max/*? Zeta? 
OpenBeOS/Haiku? BlueEyed? There seem to be many, and I've got no real 
idea what the differences are :(

[1] Which is more-featured-then-bekaffe. :) As it has been already 
ported, it may not be a big deal to get it up and running. I've got some 
mails from BeKaffe developers that I could forward to you regarding 
their code layout and getting started, if you are interested.
[2] There is always some Kaffe port, almost anywhere you go. Comes with 
the age, just like the bit rot :)
