Yes, I run it on my iPaq 31xx using familiar linux.
There is a version of pd 0.32 at ftp://xdv.org/pub/gige/PDa* compiled
for arm and the corresponding sources.

The problems were that I had to make substantial changes to pd in order
to do integer calculations only, because the system doesnt have a floating
point processor. Some things are not ported yet, like  arrays, for
example.

Basically this should be compilable on other operating systems too..
