I don't know if Pure Data runs stand-alone on such a device, but if
you're planning to use the device primarily as a controller, you
probably don't really need Pd to run on the phone. Any controller app
that spits out OSC (for instance) would do and you could receive the
commands in Pd running on your desktop or whatsoever.

If you absolutely want Pd to run on the device, search this ML's
archives for libpd. I think there is even a dedicated ML for libpd.
