For an ARM port I could make a beagleboard system available, and I'm
sure we'd have space to host that (it's really tiny). But I'd need
someone who is motivated to do work / make a boot image etc.

(Beagleboard uses the same TI chipsat - OMAP something - as many current
 smartphones, such as the Palm Pre).
