C & C++ compile down to native code. For games, this is going to be better than going through a VM (even a JITed) oen.

Therefore i chose XNA/C#, which is a language made for this purpose, and includes all you need to make high quality 3D games that are light.
I suspect it is light for the developer, but relatively heavyweight in terms of the requirements for the machine the framework runs on.

My problem is that C# is based on .NET framework and depends on it.
Would it be possible to install a binary package made for normal Linux on a N900 and still working?
Short answer: No.

Long answer: No. You'll either have to port XNA on top of the old Mono port; switch to a different technology stack or give up. :-(
