I'm sure it could be done relatively easily. But the Pandora OS has support for all the extra keys (buttons and pads and corner keys and nubs and whatnot) which the N900 doesn't have. So it'll be quite crippled on the N900.
For myself I'm more interested in cross-compatible executables. There's been some testing on that.

What's so special about Pandora's OS?
I was under the impression that the main selling point of Pandora (among Cortex A8 linux-y handhelds) is their gaming-ready hardware..

having pandora os would give us the possibility of geting all the pandora games working with very few work
i'm thinking of the emulators using the gpu for example...

I love this idea, it would compensate for all the missing apps and games on the n900. Since the community is already at a stand still, no big name companies in site o.o for like 6 months, developers are appearing less in the forum and those remaining are disappearing and no big news about n900 for the past 2-3 weeks. This pandora os thing is a great idea, I think someone else mentioned it already though.

Well, yeah the advantage would be all of the emulators and games but they're all open source and wouldn't be much of a hassle to just compile them for maemo.
While we're on that subject, anyone willing to recompile a GBA emu from pandora to maemo 5?

@ N900: Battery low. N950: torx 4 re-used once and fine; SIM port torn apart

Quick note...
Seriously, can it be done?
Light-weight operating system for N900, without eye-candy...
Is anything like this anywhere in the whole world?
