Actually there is such tool which shows this in the Extras repositories. I don't remember how it is called though. OMWeather might also offer this by now.

For Linux in general there are some excellent GUI utilities which provide this feature. For console Linux, you can try

http://pynovas.sourceforge.net/
http://libnova.sourceforge.net/
http://www.gnu.org/software/gcal/

The latter is a GNU utility not to be confused with Google Calendar. From the manual:
Gcal displays hybrid and proleptic Julian and Gregorian calendar sheets, respectively, for one month, three months or a whole year. It also dis‐
plays eternal holiday lists for many countries around the globe, and features a very powerful creation of fixed date lists that can be used for
reminding purposes. Gcal can calculate various astronomical data and times of the Sun and the Moon for at pleasure any location, precisely enough
for most civil purposes. Gcal supports some other calendar systems, for example the Chinese and Japanese calendar, the Hebrew calendar and the
civil Islamic calendar, too.
I'm not sure if there is a Maemo port though, but it works on Ubuntu/Jaunty/AMD64 and Debian/Lenny/ARM. I'm sure its easy to get it ported in Scratchbox SDK.

If you use Google you can also find a very simple C or Python code which provides the sunrise/sunset for a specific long/lat but I don't remember how it was called. I discussed it here on this forum before though.
