Okay it didn't go so well.. my VAX couldn't boot the file I normally use with this mopd (I had to rebuild it for a static libelf)... I've put a tgz up at http://www.skynet.ie/~airlied/vax/mopd_on_the_vax.tgz it contains the file I was trying to boot and the tcpdumps of this mopd and the one I normally use ... if you need any more info give me a shout ..
