Could you provide details on what you mean by "interoperability"?
(Or specific applications that you need to run if you don't need
to build them from scratch)

Obviously not all four can run the same application binaries.
I do expect a pretty good level of source compatibility (90%+).
On the PARISC OS's, even a degree of binary compatibility.

Provided details, I can forward things not covered by HPUX to the
right people (caveat: no guarantee they will get fixed...).  And
you are welcome to post patches for stuff in either 32 or 64-bit
parisc-linux kernels here.
(Or submit bug reports to bugs.parisc-linu.org.)

Also try:
    http://devresource.hp.com/OpenSource/Tools/OpenSourceLib.html
         (I think this might be the same/related to the STK)
    http://devresource.hp.com/LPK/

The LPK (Linux Porting Kit) seems to be pretty good (though not perfect).
