Did you ever try Ayam?
http://www.ayam3d.org/

They take their NURBS seriously.  It is based on MOPS, which I've used
and liked better than most NURBS modellers. 

Ayam is free.  And it is officially supported on Irix.  Linux
installation is easy, but certain features are left out unless you use
SGI's GLU (which Mesa officially recommends, but Debian hasn't
upgraded to), which is obviously not a problem under Irix.
