This will likely be a very difficult job. Nano-X is a complete X-11
replacement from the the level of the video, mouse/touchpad, and
keyboard drivers and up.
The first challenge will be getting all of the drivers working. I see
that there there is a support for RTEMS in Nano-X (although it has not
changed for 19 years). RTEMS is older RTOS and you should be able to
search for occurrences of RTEMS in the repository. Each of those
probably has a corresponding change needed for NuttX.
RTEMS Drivers:

Nano-X is the kernel portion of the solution and is probably not so
useful without the microwindows NxLib for user space support. See
http://www.microwindows.org/ (from 2018) and
https://github.com/ghaerr/nxlib . That hasn't been updated in years.
NxLib runs on top of MS Windows, X Windows, or Nano-X. That former link
includes references to NxLib and Nano-X documents from 2000.
I see that you have already started discussions with people on the
Nano-X team: https://github.com/ghaerr/microwindows/issues/85 Those are
the right people that you need to talk to. No one on this list can
really help you much other than with driver and architectural issues.
