Could be hard.
It can(??) be done if the cpu is OMAP 34**. You need to use the Maemo(Beta4 IIRC) SDK.
Have a look here: http://maemo-beagle.garage.maemo.org/
The link is for beagleboard instructions.. Could help.
A lot of Maemo is closed source.

Meego seems a better bet in the longer term (though I like Maemo more personally). I found some people are making slow progress on porting Meego, with usual problems of closed source 3d drivers etc...

Looks like it will be a long time before it's really usable like NITdroid the other way round.

I am afraid MeeGo without a Nokia layer isn't going to be as attractive as whatever UX Nokia'd put on there. Personally, I think MeeGo as-is looks fairly nondescript (read: standard, boring, soulless) compared to the Maemo user interface.
Furthermore, I don't think Maemo 5 as-is would work very well on a less accurate screen. It pretty much requires either stylus or fingernail usage. I have a much higher missed-link percentage on the ZTE Blade than I did on the N900, with the smaller links on Maemo 5 I don't think I could manage on the Blade hardware.
Res vs cap; accuracy vs hype:
(look, we can use styluses too!)
But I would love to try.

So I'm thinking, there has been excellent work porting Android to the N900 (NITdroid).
And there is excellent Android hardware out at the moment, with very similar CPUs from userspace perspective. With more Android hardware expected in future, while new N900s are getting harder to find.
Who fancies porting Maemo/Meego onto some of the excellent Android hardware - give us the best of both worlds? Is anyone doing it already (doubtful)?
