Is that possible port to N8X0?

Yes. Anyone does know.

No.

P.S. Welcome to zombo.com. You can do anything at zombo.com. Anything at all...

Moblin is optimized specifically for Intel Atom CPUs. So by porting Moblin to ARM/N8x0 you would loose most speed advantages which differentiate Moblin from all the other mobile Linux distros out there.

As the question "Can distro x work on the tablets?" seems to frequently come up, I've decided to devise a simple code system which can be used to quickly explain the usefulness and feasibility of any given operating system being considered for tablet usage.

I call it Tablet Usefulness and Feasibility System or TUFS.

TUFS works like this: there are two primary fields, Usefulness and Feasibility, and one optional secondary field, Difficulty. Usefulness can be Pointless, Mostly pointless, Interesting, or Useful. Feasibility can be Impossible, Possible, or Already working. Difficulty is on a scale of 1-4 (1 being "easy to port", 4 being "damn near impossible"), and only applies of porting is possible.

So, for Moblin, the TUFS would look something like: MP2. It's mostly pointless (since Moblin's major advantage is targeting Atom for improved power saving), but possible, if somewhat difficult.

So the scale goes from UA0 to PI4 ? I hope you're not mulling a similar scheme for the next "member level" system :-)

The difficulty level applies only when something is actually impossible. So that'd be PI not PI4.

If you'd like, I could translate the scale into smilies:
  • Usefulness
    • Pointless -
    • Mostly Pointless -
    • Interesting -
    • Useful -
  • Feasibility
    • Impossible -
    • Possible -
    • Already working -

Thus making Moblin: 2

No, the scale for the member level system I'm mulling is the release codenames.

Umm, Moblin relies on 3D layer and Clutter... so that's 4 for you

Hardly. More like a 3 for current tablets (depending on how you rate the likelihood of Nokia's success with ImagTech) since a software rending solution isn't that far-fetched, but I'm speaking more of any tablet (including the OMAP3 ones).
