Another campus entity is looking into purchasing an IBM 9000 system, which
would run VM, and comes with some sort of TCP/IP package. They want to be
sure it works with our (BSD) network, especially for printing. Does anybody
know if it's possible for an IBM 9000 VM system to talk Berkeley lpr protocol?
Any information is most appreciated.

They have been written to interoperate with 4.3 LPR/LPD and work fine. If you're running our Version 1 product, I believe there is at least one LPR/LPD implementation available, from Columbia University. I believe it is free, but you'd have to contact them directly.
