Well, code-wise, not much. Hildon itself doesn't depend much on features specific to Maemo-GTK (save for a few quirks already mentioned by Javier Jardón). In fact Debian has been distributing a version of Hildon from Maemo 5 for some time now (http://packages.debian.org/sid/libhildon-1-0). So making an app that requires a recent Hildon compile and run against upstream GTK+ is not terribly difficult. The main problem is making those apps behave properly :) There are some interactions such as stackable windows or menus that depend on specific hildon-desktop features. Also, some widgets are designed specifically for the N900, and while they may work and have a reasonable API they should probably be redesigned/modified to be more general.
