I would say yes. Leste support largely depends on mainline Linux support. There is mainline Linux support for all 3 N8x0 devices, and the 770, although I don't know what state they are in. Support is (currently) provided via board files, notand DT. It definitely worked at some stage, see the eLinux status page.

There is also support for them in QEMU but it seems current mainline booting is broken right now:

EDIT:
I see you've already found and updated the eLinux status page.

I should also add that I don't know how well Leste/Hildon will scale to a device with only 128MB RAM and lower screen resolution, but in principle it should be possible to get something running on it.
