Someone already worked on porting liferea to maemo: http://code.google.com/p/frothing/

I got this to compile and run inside the scratchbox environment today. It needs some GUI cleanup (THE FONTS THEY DEFAULT TO ARE *HUGE*) and I'd like to get away from it using GTKHTML as the rendering engine (is it possible to use minimo as the rendering engine?).

Once I do some cleanup I'll create packages and post them here for people to try.
