Short answer: No, the Flash plug-in is closed source.

Long answer: Perhaps. Theoretically, a Flash plug-in from a web browser that uses the same plug-in methodology as the Maemo Browser but on another, similar, Linux-based mobile operating system running on the same processor might be made to work on Maemo in the Maemo Browser. Maybe. However, it would violate the licensing of the plug-in.
