You need to modify the VM to target arm4 and use X11 for display (and
handle environment integration in a sufficient manner for the desired
apps). Probably one of the bigger pieces of porting work with the whole
system, since it's decidedly not just a recompile away. Probably not an
insane amount of work though either, but this is from a guy not doing
it.
