libhybris will support Android ≥6 devices!
 
Jolla announced on Twitter:

libhybris will support Android ≥6 devices! MTK added by @Canonical, Qualcomm by #SailfishOS community champion krnlyng (Franz-Josef Haider)

So does this mean that more phones will be supported for ports of Sailfish?

Yes, and not just community ports - on Facebook Jolla is already teasing about supported future devices:

Sorry for a silly question but is libhybris using Dalvik or the newer ART?

As I undersand it those both environments run on higher level in the Android stack, between applications and OS.
So the answer to your question is "neither of them" :D

We know about the Oysters SF which is alledgedly a 64bit MTK chipset, I would guess this is what they're talking about.

Any info on the Galaxy Tab 4? It's listed on the Adaptations wiki but there's no link to the port itself.
