The good news: the current Wayland implementation is based on EGL and GLES2, which most (all?) Android drivers provide.
The bad news: Wayland also needs KMS and some extensions added to Mesa. I believe that the amount of work needed for adding this is peanuts compared with supporting GLES, for example, but it will take time to get the required code into the kernel and out to the user's machines.
