Nothing can be ported UNLESS the source code is available. IF the source code is available, then with enough effort, everything can be ported unless the hardware and operating system just won't allow for it.
So yes, Symbian stuff (and all other stuff) can be ported IF it's open source. If not, you have to either reverse engineer it (use various tool to figure out how the compiled code works, and come up with your own code that copies it appropriately), or clone it (meaning, just write your own code from scratch without reverse engineering that does the same things on the surface). Frankly, this applies to all software everywhere.

Well, as of my last post you know more about it than you did before. (And I know I've seen you in this forum enough to think you've probably run into educational comments, which, with applied logical contemplation, could have taught you a lot.)
Anyway, I'm not a programmer, I don't have the SDK for Maemo set up properly yet, and I am not a good person to go to for getting apps ported. Yet, at least. You can post links to the apps or their webpages, and if they're open source, someone might port them. *Shrug*

I think GVM is your best bet. Take a look at this thread.

I remember there was also a thread started by addison which lists some alternatives. You might want to do a search for it.

Yeah, I have over 60 Skyscape apps.
It's definitely doable.
Don't listen to bunanson's suggestions though. His way blows. *lol*
