I've seen issues where statically-addressed servers (Win2K) had issues
"finding" the domain upon boot because the switch was transitioning
through STP states. Portfast fixed the problem; perhaps the OP is
looking to do "server-on-a-stick"

Jason,
Why would you want to make a trunk portfast? The only reasons I
know of where it's needed are for IP DHCP and IPX frame and network
negotiation. If you had a trunk going to a server with a trunk-capable
NIC
that didn't have hard-coded IP or IPX information, then you might want
to
use trunking with portfast, but I think that'd be a real odd
configuration.
What exactly are you trying to do?

Portfast support on trunk is available starting from CatOS 7.1(1) for
Cat6k.

I don't believe so. I seem to recall on my Cat 5k that when you set a
port to portfast it even comes back and tells you it's disabling
trunking for that port (even if it's not a trunk port it returns that
message). Easy enough to test.
