Main problem with android, that it is quite big with VERY strange build steps,
if you want begin ebuild-ing them - very nice, at least Gentoo-Openmoko people
will test them.
We [Gentoo-Openmoko] also thinked about porting android to Gentoo, but it
postponed now because of others more important stuff. FSO/SHR is better than
android anyway :), and they should be ported first.
Android basically is just kernel+busybox, if I'm not mistaken they have even
separate libc (neither glibc, neither uclibc). So porting work isn't very
simple.
P.S. Neo Freerunner (gta02) where android runs too:
