Has the Blit emulator been ported to anything other than Plan 9 or
does one need to set up a VM running Plan 9 to test out the graphics?

This emulator works on most Plan 9 distributions. You just
have to copy the /sys/lib/blit and /sys/src/games/blit
directories to your system.
With the v8.ini startup file provided, the console will be
listening on port 8888/tcp once SIMH has been started.
You have to run the emulator and connect to the console:
% cd /sys/src/games/blit
% mk install
% games/blit -t tcp!hostname!8888
Once connected, enter your login and password.
login: root
Then, you can launch the mux window system:
$ /usr/blit/bin/mux
Once started, you can run any graphical program.
Binaries are located in the /usr/blit/bin directory.
For example, here is jim text editor:
