Earlier versions of SELinux were ported to ARM and successfully run on the iPAQ by two independent efforts, but that was all prior to the 2.6 SELinux. At this point, the largest challenge to SELinux there is likely the fact that the 2.6 SELinux depends on extended attributes for file security contexts, and jffs2 doesn't support them natively. There has been discussion of supporting extended attributes in jffs3, I believe.
