AFAIK not ported to Maemo 5. You could ask for a port, pay someone to port it to Maemo 5, or try it in Easy Debian. You'll probably have to use stylus though. GPS should work since that uses standard protocols. IIRC it also utilizes OpenGL; might be a problem performance-wise, but hopefully you can 'downgrade' the quality. Your question might be worth a different topic.
Stellarium is fully ported to Maemo 5, and runs well on the N900. It's in extras devel. It's a bit of a CPU/battery hog, but it is an extremely impressive app, and one of the best things to show off the phone's power to your friends. It makes Google Sky look like a Palm Pliot app from 1995.
