I believe the general stance on this question is, "Maybe." There's no denying that there is interest in Android, both from users and from the team, but a lot of coding would have to happen for an XBMC for Android port to exist.

Donations might help, without hardware it will never happen. That being said, there will never be guarantees but it is an interesting platform and sufficient developers with hardware might make it happen.

I honestly don't see android being a huge problem. So far I've complied binutils and coreutils for Android. There is a cross compiler available. Just start with all of the pre requisites and go from there.
Code:
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON `xbmc_%`.* TO 'xbmc'@'%';
IF you have a mysql problem, find one of the 4 dozen threads already open.

Lol, fontconfig will never work nor should it be needed (patches for making that optional would be nice). Provide a script to crosscompile smb., MySQL and python and you'd be my hero. Those have been a real pain.

I think xbmc on android will be more interesting when google merges the Google TV, Tablet and Phone versions later this year.
The little Google TV boxes that are starting to appear might make nice xbmc boxes (similar to Apple TV 2).

I have a Android tablet since a few days.(HTC Flyer)
I'm very impressed about the performance and handling of this device.
Would be awesome to use xbmc on this device .-)
For surfing the net on the living room couch it is imho the the best device I ever
used.

Just out of curiosity, would XBMC on Android be an appropriate use for the NDK (Native Dev Kit)? I can't imagine re-writing the code in Java!
