I don't know know about the very old ones, but AFAIK it's supported since ARMv4 (1993) in the CPU. This doesn't mean that every board and bootloader does support it.

NetBSD 10 is available for Raspberry Pi 1/2/3/4 in big-endian. I have booted it on a Pi 1 and 2 without any problems.

Emu68 (the one for the PiStorm) is using the big-endian mode for it's m68k emulation.
