No, but you may find it useful to use the kdrive minimal X server.

Well if you want to use the latest and greatest, dpkg is not the way to
go about it - just compile Gambas yourself. 

(On a sidenote, gentoo is probably a nicer option for an ARM box than
any binary distro.)

Officially, most likely not - for want of brave testers like you to
report what works. 

Graphical components depend on Gtk or Qt, which in turn have their own
dependencies. As I said, the best way to deal with that particular issue
is to use kdrive.

Good luck, and let us know how you go! I'd personally love Gambas to
work on Windows Mobile on my Xscale so I can do some programming for my
phone :)
