Ahem... actually:
MAYBE!!!
The problem is, that you probably will need an updated glibc (and maybe compiler) as well. Dave has done a lot of work to fix stuff. We have copied the most important update-packages to ftp.parisc-linux.org. To update, just make sure the following lines are in your /etc/apt/source.list file:
deb ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian-ports unstable main
deb ftp://ftp.parisc-linux.org/debian-ports/unstable unstable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian unstable main
Do *not* just update to the packages of debian-ports.org. If you do that it will render your system unbootable, since the udev-package is broken and it will not find your discs at startup.
It's on my todo-list to upload further packages, update the website on how to update your system, and of course to get a buildd working...
