Depending on the app type it may be reasonable to put everything in a  
container fixed at 240x480. With a top bar above and a keyboard below this 
isn't far off normal size.

You could try scaling the images for 320x640 and running in landscape. This 
isn't far off normal size with top bar. It should be quick and easy to scale a 
screenshot to find out how it would look.

If the app is FOSS you might find a volunteer on the list to help with the 
artwork.
