From what I know, it should be possible to run Symbian^3 (and maybe ^2) in the N900, however it would require a fair amount of work to make it happen.

It is definitely possible.
However, I don't want anything from Symbian, since Maemo is vastly superior to it.

Simple answer: No, because the Symbian operating systems are all closed source...hopefully someone would prove me wrong :(

Well, you're wrong in that symbian isn't closed source.

There are many things that Symbian does that Maemo doesn't...
