Nokia N8x0 has community support with older Qt4.5 version. There is nothing that prevents making Qt4.6 port for N810/Diablo .
Just one important issue, UI paradigm has changed a lot between N810/Diablo and N900/Fremantle. N900 is fullu finger operatable machine 
when N810 was still depending on stylus. There is bunch of UI elements that are non existing in N810. Someones depend even
window manager like stacked windows.  

It would be relatively easy to get jusr Qt4.6 port with minimum support, input method, styles and menus but
having all Fremantle UI is different story.
