ACK has pretty much confirmed that their high-end Amiga system will use PA Semi chips. In an IRC session, Adam of ACK replied to the question how ACK was going to build a system faster than anything Apple ever produced on the PPC side: "Think PA Semi quad-core chips." Adam also said ACK started talks with PA Semi about a year ago, while also promising specifications of the high-end system to be released coming Monday.

Via Epia is x86 based. If Amiga OS4 was x86 based, then I would say this discussion would be moot.
A more close suggestion would be the Pegasos or Efika boards from Genesi. But there seems to be certain discord between them that would prevent such a contract.
The reason why the OS4 does not have a fighting chance is because of the politics surrounding the parent company and the product.
