At various places in the MMIX sources, Don Knuth asks the interested reader to make significant changes for advanced system features:

Unicode support using wchar for Char (MMOTYPE§27, MMIXAL§§{7,30})
octa as single 64-bit integer, e.g., using uint64_t instead of the current struct with two tetras (ILP64 interface) (MMIX-ARITH§1)
Graphical interface (MMIX-SIM§1)
…

Time permitting, I'll try to look up the relevant sections in the codes.
