Depending on the app it might actually run already.... But you might have to manually install it.

If anyone wants to use an app that is not (yet) ported to maemo 5.
As applications are being ported from one release of the same OS to another there is a well known migration route for most things. GTK+ used in OS2008 is available in Maemo 5 so the majority of differences are actually UI requirements and redesign.
