Highly unlikely even in the event of a sponsor or technical feasibility.

The reason has to do with licensing. The web is filled with articles about GPLv2 and Apple Appstore compatibility and even for the cases where they do make it through, there are several examples of copyleft licensed open source projects that were pulled off the app store.
