I have a Zaurus, too. There is an alternate ROM system for it (openzaurus)
which comes in two flavors: Qt-based and X11-based. I've only tried the
X11-based one superficially, not with xastir.

Not sure if it's even worth it -- the model I have has 64M of RAM, and it's
split between ramdisk and working-memory. Various builds of the firmware can
change the ratio between working memory and storage, but I don't know how
well Xastir would work in such a small memory space.
