Will it be possible to run XBMC on this new device?

Myka is offering a self-titled media hub it says is a viable alternative for those who want most of the features of the Apple TV but a less restricted environment. Rather than depend on a closed download system such as iTunes, the Myka depends chiefly on BitTorrent downloads to accomplish its download goals. The peer sharing format not only reduces dependence on any one server for content but also theoretically allows downloads of content beyond the typical music and videos, according to the company. The system is designed to simplify the experience and also includes web access so the owner can queue up content away from home.
Appropriately, the hub not only plays established video formats such as DivX, H.264, MPEG-4, and WMV but also formats normally reserved for stand-alone movie discs, including MPEG-2 and VC-1; HDMI provides HD video output up to 1080i while RCA and S-video handle analog sources. The device also supports playback of most common audio formats and includes a USB port for future expansion.

According to this (http://www.myka.tv/techspec.html) it runs Linux but the processor isn't mentioned.

Whatever it is, it isn't x86. You can count XBMC out without a major port.
