You could try:-
http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/OE-Tour.html for some general VM  
stuff relating to Squeak
http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2105 et al. for specific VMMaker stuff

In general if you download the svn tree, load up VMMaker *from  
SqueakMap* and follow platform instructions you ought to be able to  
build a working vm. It is, after all, what 'us professionals' do. Add  
a new branch to the platforms tree, next to RiscOS/Mac/Win32/unix and  
maybe add a new subclass to VMMaker if you need to do things  
differently wrt code generation. Once you have it working, feel free  
to submit it to me for inclusion in the main VMMaker package. Until  
that point you can work as publically or as secretly as you wish.
