Richard, I'll probably be totally wrong here but... I'd guess its possible, but would probably be quite a bit of work, although the more I think about it... The general tools and packages used are pretty standard. Apache, NFS, LVM2, MDADM, Samba, etc. Most if not all of these have been ported to the slug by someone before. The GUI (as I understand it and after having a poke around) is mostly PHP based so that *should* be pretty easy to move across as its not processor specific since its an uncompiled language. The processor is an ARM/XScale one IIRC. Linux is pretty mature on that and there are plenty of embedded boxes around with one of those inside, so a big pool of resources to tap up is available. Am sure I'm generalising too much, but sounds workable to me. Guess your best bet (and hence first port of call) would be to grab the openfiler source and take a look to see what is included. From there you can then compare against packages that are known to work on the slug and make a guesstimate at the feasibility of it working, considering the packages that are known not to work on the slug and your level of competence. (No offence meant, I'd have absolutely no idea whatsoever of even where to start). Then its just a case of deciding to give it a go or not...
