Not sure if this might be useful to anyone, but here it is. Try at your own risk.
I installed Mer onto my N900 micro-sd card in a dual boot configuration, as per the instructions here;

The only difference was that I used the most recent image found here.

This works, but due to waiting for the GL support is not really useable.
Then I configured network access, and followed these instructions for installing LXDE.
apt-get update
apt-get --no-install-recommends install lxde libgtkstylus onboard
echo "exec startlxde" >> ~/.xinitrc
and reboot!
Original instructions found here for N810, but it worked for me on my N900;

I haven't really done much testing yet, but it seems to work reasonably well!
Enjoy!
