Olaf "Olsen" Barthel seems to be rather optimistic about it:
"AmigaOS [...] is hardwired to a big-endian host platform, not just the fundamentals but also its data structures. I would say that the chances to see AmigaOS run on an ARM are much higher than to see it run on an x86 family processor." http://obligement.free.fr/articles_traduction/itwbarthel_en.php
Edit: Some more from him:
"the sacrifices that would have to be made to get AmigaOS working on the x86 platform would be greater than by comparison with the ARM, because you can have it load/store data from/to memory in either big endian or little endian fashion, depending upon how the chip is configured." http://amigaworld.net/modules/news/article.php?storyid=5678#76241
