I took a look at this and left some comments. I expect you're going to have your work cut out for you in the test suite due to the lack of good, modern POSIX support.
I regret to report that I looked at the source code of the ANSI/POSIX environment from the Berkeley release and found that it's mostly shell scripts (well, rc scripts) and has all of the functionality one would expect from that. I suspect that this will not make the port any easier.
