I tried it on alpha and sparc64. It starts up and I can edit files. It doesn't deal well with 8-bit characters, but that is presumably a general issue.
Yeah well, it "kinda works" with a properly set locale via LC_CTYPE or LC_ALL. Its way of choosing an appropriate (or even a desired) font for each locale is a bit obscure, though.
Looking at the plist, I wonder whether one of share/fte/system.fterc or share/fte/localconfig/systemmain.fte doesn't belong under /etc...
It doesn't make too much sense, considering how FTE works in that regard. Configurations are read from share/fte/, then overridden by local defaults in share/fte/localconfig/, compiled and then stored in the user's $HOME. Once a compiled configuration exists in the home directory, none of the share/fte* stuff is read again.
