There is no plan for this. If you want to write one of these things, write it in the Java language. The native activity support in 2.3 is intended for very specific types of apps such as games.
And of course, you can always use JNI and your own Java language glue if you have native code that you want to expose as a service or such. And Binder is the mechanism in Android for cross-language interactions, though it isn't used much for that and the support is not fully baked. (Specifically aapt can only output Java language interfaces.)
