They mostly don't. For all the gory details have a look at the Beebhack wiki and the get_iplayer pages. However, in short, it's possible to download DRM free copies of iPlayer programmes on Linux, now. The only question marks are over whether the N900 media player will play the resulting files (I'm betting it will), and about getting the download tools themselves to run on the N900 (they're basic commandline things, so it shouldn't be hard).
