Oh, something like:

I have a guy wanting to donate two E10K's with 64 cpus and matching RAM; while 
I have the power, cooling, and other infrastructure, don't really want to 
drive to San Diego for them... :-)

You do know there is a Linux for that box, right?  That's what Spacely (the 14 
CPU  (400MHz 8MB ECache) E6500 with 14GB RAM) is running; while I haven't 
tried to build the GNUradio stack on it, it should build fairly easily, since 
the Linux that is on it is based on Fedora Core 3 (Aurora; 
www.auroralinux.org). 

I am getting ready to build up either the E5500 or an E3500 (or perhaps a quad 
proc E450) with Solaris 10; I'd be willing to give you an ssh if it would be 
of help.  Solaris 10 should be closer to the Linux API; there is a linux 
personality module for it, at least on i386 hardware.
