Will there or could there be touch screen support? XBMC would make an AWESOME! CarPC Frontend!

Touchscreen support would simply require installing the appropriate touchscreen driver for your X server. XBMC wouldn't most likely not know the difference.

yes, touchscreens will work as a mouse under linux with the right device-drivers, however I'm not sure how the context-menu will work, nor how to move back to the main home-menu, ...I also think the skin(s) might need a little work to make them more touchscreen friendly (larger 'click' areas, etc.)

Sounds promising :)
