I've seen that Android seems to be based, at least in part/loosely, on 
Linux.
It could be possible to adapt the Linux version to run on an Android 
device. It possible that you won't be able to implement all features.

That said, the Android devices are greatly lacking computional power 
compared to desktops and laptops. They are very limited in RAM and storage.

If you ever find, or create, a port, you'll be limited to small and 
simple scenes using few, and simple, objects. Then, your render time 
would be very long.

Remotely possible, but very likely not workable.
