More than maybe. :)  The motorola_powerpc BSP has "aliases"
to support a wide variety of Motorola VMEbus, CompactPCI,
and PowerPC motherboards.  The current aliases which are
known are mvme2307, mcp750, and mtx603e.  

The mvme2307 BSP alias has been reported to work on most
the mvme230x series so I would suspect it will just work
on the mvme240x.  Hopefully someone on the list can confirm this.

I recall Greg Menke reporting the the mtx603e BSP variant would
actually work on his mcp750 as well.
