From what I know, it should be possible to run Symbian^3 (and maybe ^2) in the N900, however it would require a fair amount of work to make it happen.

It is definitely possible.
However, I don't want anything from Symbian, since Maemo is vastly superior to it.

Simple answer: No, because the Symbian operating systems are all closed source...hopefully someone would prove me wrong

Well, you're wrong in that symbian isn't closed source.

There are many things that Symbian does that Maemo doesn't...
