My gut feeling was no.  There is this undated link with reasons:

http://www.at.gnucash.org/old-website/roadmap.php3
 heading: "The Financial Browser, Part II: the PDA"

But it may not be the current position*.  It seems to suggest something like a 
netbook running Linux.  I have seen a full-scale genealogy program for Windows 
running on a netbook.

For the Linux version, there are several distros available on a bootable USB 
key, and you could have GnuCash on that, but you need a computer you are 
allowed to reboot.

I don't run a PDA, but the Palm is a separate OS, and Windows CE isn't 
ordinary Windows.  A separate program would be required.  Most slimmed down 
programs I have seen advertised are for one or the other.  There is currently 
no version of GnuCash written specifically for either.  Your best bet would be 
a PDA program which will export data in a format recognised by GnuCash.
