Well, my US vendor tells me my RPi should be shipped <finally!> in late August, so you have at least a month to get LinuxCNC working on it:-) On a more serious note, as has been discussed on the two emc mail lists, the road to ARM is littered with ideas but so far we have little result. The nicely done miniEMC2 project by Sergey Kaydalov is the most complete effort I know of. It employed the higher-latency Xenomi code rather than RTAI. Inquiring minds want to know more about the possibility of porting this code or something like it to boards like the RPi or BB and about the resulting performance attainable. I wish I could have tackled this already but I've got too many family issues at the moment. Then there's the problem of gluing these boards to our CNC hardware about which I yield to Jon. Lay on MacDuff.
