Well, as long as you use the one exact hacked together BSP that came with the device and even then it might fail (see the PowerVR crashes on the N900). Change anything and it falls down like a house of cards - see the attempts to get an up-to-date Kernel & X server running on netbooks with the PowerVR based Paulsbo GPU (this is actually quite close to this Nokia device - x86 CPU & PowerVR graphics).
