Ultrix for instance supports DEC (VMS) FTN - which I know you (Will) have been messing with.   That is the best (most complete) FTN for Vaxen.  I believe there is Ada, PL/1 and maybe even Basic2 and Cobol/RPG [I think most of not all of the VMS languages for the VAX were released on Ultrix but frankly, I don't remember].

I don’t know if NetBSD has Ultrix binary compatibility on VAX, but it does on MIPS—so much so that a few years back, someone accidentally pointed their NetBSD boot at the wrong partition on their DECstation and Ultrix booted right up using the NetBSD kernel!
