I did read some poop that someone was working on a port for Irix.  I
think his name was Richard Hess, and work[s|ed] at SGI.

Yup, the above is correct.  A google search should turn up a
q3a-irix.zip file.  I have not tested it, as I don't have Q3A data
files.  However, it does start up, then fail when it can't find data
files.  I don't know how well it works, but the README says that you
should only run it on systems with texture memory, unless you truly like
pain.
