At least for the N900 the answer is "no". The touchscreen driver disappeared at 2.6.29:
drivers/input/touchscreen/tsc2005.c

A patch was made for re-inclusion a couple months ago, but it hasn't hit any git trees that I've seen. There's likely a number of other missing pieces as well, but that one is critical. So no support for N900 in any kernel since at least 2.6.29.
