No, you may also compile a new kernel under parisc-linux.
All you need is to apt-get gcc and binutils (search the archive how to set
up apt).

Yes you can. After setting up apt do an 
apt-get install xserver-xfree86 xfonts xlibs xbase xutils
modify your /etc/XFree86config to use the fbdev driver and it should work.
Maybe you will need to modify some more things which I don't know right now 
out of my head, but you may also take a look at the thread
http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2001-July/012972.html
and should ignore all things I mentioned about HIL (since I think you don't 
have a HIL keyboard or mouse).

Much fun,
