The openmoko overlay does not have any ebuild for Android
and i doubt any other overlay has so far. But if you are
willing to provide ebuilds... ;-)

And here the trouble starts. Android only uses the Linux
kernel, but the userland has nothing to do with a GNU/Linux
userland AFAIK. I had no deeper look, but  you probably
need another toolchain option... many ebuilds... and I'm
not even sure you can completelty rebuild Android as some
parts are proprietary IIRC.
