Some people I know doing work in NLP use machine learning to bake up classification algorithms: this research usually involves some amount of Prolog (or --- more properly --- Datalog), so it's sensible that someone would want a prolog engine running on Android.
That being said, the core of Prolog is just a decider for the logic upon which it's based. It's sensible enough to think that you'd want native code to do this (to optimize the constraint solving) if it was an integral part of your app. It should be relatively easy to port, since most of that native code should be fairly "black boxy". I would assume that for apps which use only a light amount of Prolog, you should instead use a Java prolog library. I do know of one (http://www.gnu.org/software/gnuprologjava/) that has been rumored to work relatively well, but it's GPL: you should be able to find similar ones for your application domain.
