in simpler words, it would be allmost impossible to achieve.
Presumably, porting dalvik would include creating "a version of Dalvik that draws in an X pane instead of directly to the framebuffer" (which would actually be a useful thing for other platforms, as well).

Once you've ported dalvik, you've got all of the Android apps. That's all you really need, isn't it?
