There's probably a few hobbyists that still use SGIs. Octeon is mostly commercial vendors, who could pay for all of OpenBSDs needs out of their fancy executive toilet paper budget. And there's one OpenBSD hacker who uses Loongson, even GNU cult leaders use GNU/Linux on Loongson instead.

If you want to support MIPS for embedded applications then loongson is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to run stuff right now.

How's availability outside of China? I'm not finding many of these systems in the US.

I don't know about the US but there is a place in the Netherlands that says they have netbooks and small systems in stock.
