This is totally achievable. The accelerometer gives you a force vector. All you have to do is sample that vector and you can convert it into whatever rotational system you'd like (euler, quats or otherwise).
You could easily write a file exporter that exports the movement sequence. If you want to make life easy, you could write an xml exporter that can write to the xml animation format that max understands. Otherwise there are other options for files including a proprietary type so long as you write an importer for max. Droid and Nexus Ones both have decent 3D chips. The G1-class phones are a little lacking on 3D power but can do basic stuff fine. There are a few phones with no GPU and those use a software renderer which works ok for HW-accel 2D but not well real 3D.
