The problem with the N9 (and N950) is that to function fully, the device needs closed hardware drivers that are only licensed to Nokia.
So Nokia would be the only company able to port Sailfish to N9 properly, which I guess they would not even think of it.
Nemo is the closest you will get. Putting the open parts of the Sailfish UI on there could be done by the community (which this thread is about).

But SailfishOS was officially presented on Nokia N950, wasn't it?! You can see it clearly on the Jolla videos...

), this means all the demos of Sailfish we've seen up to now, running on N950, are illegal, or Jolla had some deal with Nokia to get the drivers.Now Nokia has officially announced it will cease the support of Symbian and Meego at the end of this years, I guess we can ask them for the driver source code.

Jolla won't release that drivers, they can't
It would be easier to port to a nexus device?

ah let me be clear, I was attempting to port mer, which is the core, which in theory will let sailfish run

Nokia can't. One word: NDA
