My two cents, it wasn't the fact of seeing his father naked, but how he responded to this. It appears that he may of been showing disrespect to his father and potentially tried to get his brothers Gen 9:22 involved in this, but instead they treated their father with respect and covered his nakedness.

Hi Brad It just seems as though Noah was very harsh for such a menial offence. Could there be, a connection of these two passages, for a better understanding of just why Noah cursed his son Ham, and his descendants? Gen. 9:21-24 21. And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. 22. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brethren without. 23. And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and laid it upon both their shoulders, and went backward, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were backward, and they saw not their father's nakedness. 24. And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what his younger son had done unto him. Lev 18:6-8 6. None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. 7. The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not uncover her nakedness. 8. The nakedness of thy father's wife shalt thou not uncover: it is thy father's nakedness. lightedsteps |

I'm not a Bible scholar, but I would say no. The reason being, in Leviticus I believe it is dealing more with the sex, than actually viewing of the body. "Uncover her nakedness" is a euphemism, if my understanding of the OT Hebrew is correct, that would be dealing with having sexual relationship. I don't believe that Ham had or tried to have sex with his father, which is the reason why I think it has more to do with respect and how he dealt with finding his father in this state than the actually seeing his father naked.
