I believe there was a working kernel port last year: 
http://benno.id.au/blog/2007/11/21/android-neo1973

The problem was that the rest of the stack was not open source and the 
available binaries were for ARMV5, rather than ARMV4. Assuming that 
Google has released the necessary source, that roadblock would no longer 
exist.
