A quick look at the IDE source shows a lot of Java ( https://github.com/arduino/Arduino ) and build instructions ( http://code.google.com/p/arduino/wiki/BuildingArduino )

Linux:
On Linux, you need the Sun Java SDK, avr-gcc, avr-g++, avr-libc, make, ant, and git.
So not a trivial job to port to a platform with no official Java support.
