Very good idea, the spacer frame gives some nice area for custom mods. Even if making a little more space in N900's case for port would be required, it's still much easier for average person, than making a complete-new hole somewhere else.

Personally, I hope for some flat, generic port for VGA (for flat-flex cables) video output there. If space permits.
