Considering that none of the professional programs are available even for
_regular_ linux, I would say you'll have a wait for:
Genius
Tiger
King
Junior
Shredder

OTOH:
SCID database is possible (if you could get TCL/TK for a PDA ported).
And
Xboard with -->
Phalanx,
Crafty,
Amy,
Comet
could become available right away with a simple recompile.

If it's a PDA, I'm not sure how useful a full blown package is going to be
anyway, and already those programs will kick the ever loving snot out of 99.99%
of the people who might play them.
