It's because STK is based on OpenGL. The N900 only supports OpenGL ES. Therefore it's not an easy port'n'go job, but it requires more knowlegde and time to port it. OpenGL has to be translated to OpenGL ES, which is not that easy but possible and made before, too.
I would definitely donate 10€ for a playable version, and another 10€ for a perfect running port (check out the newest tuxracer version to understand what I mean).
I remember reading about the openGL ES mess before, it's highly annoying that this has to be such a stopper.

All I remember is that openGL comes in many flavours.
N900 and all other OMAP TI equipped handhelds out there support openGL 2.0 ES.
The trick is that GL 2.0 and GL 2.0 ES are quite different so porting becomes a quite complex process.

The game has to be ported to open GL ES first, no playing yet.

we just got tuxRacer, so why not??

The current version of Super Tux Kart uses the irrlicht 3d graphics engine for all its rendering. Currently this supports DirectX, OpenGL and a custom software mode, but no OpenGLES 2.0. There is an pre-alpha OGLES2 driver in development for the iPhone which could form the basis of an N900 driver. I don't currently have the skills or free time to port though.
If we could get the irrlicht engine ported it would also make available a number of other games.
