Without having asked about this, I guess KK's first answer will be negative. Knoppix is extremely hardware agnostic, but achieves that by sticking to hardware based on x86 architectures, and keeps the 32-bits approach. Not even a 64-bits version is in sight (if things haven't changed lately), and I have come to support his approach, IMHO it's very practical to chroot into a 64-bits system from hybrid Knoppix and doing everything purely 64 bits there.
This 32/64-bits situation will relatively soon be parallelled in the mobile scene, making the whole situation even more convoluted.
It will be very interesting to see how the Tizen project develops - but there will actually be several Debian-based mobile alternatives. A Ubuntu version was recently announced, and you can already download an alpha release of Bodhi for the Asus Nexus 7 tablet. The Knoppix take on this might be to adapt a minirt.gz for mobile devices, which I guess will have to be tweaked separately for each new device in the first place.
With 2-4GB of RAM and 16-32GB of internal storage on the upcoming devices, there should be room for a Knoppix compressed image+persistent store without wiping out anything else, setting up for multi-boot.
