Yes, it can be installed and works well! It helps if you increase the
panel size for touch and there's also a gconf key that increases the
button/widget sizing in the launcher, so it's easier to use with
touchscreens (needs a restart of the launcher):

gconftool-2 --set /apps/netbook-launcher/tablet_mode --type BOOL true

this setting could be a bit rough around the edges, but I use UNR on my
Samsung Q1 daily, and it seems fine.

P.S. I also find it useful to hack $your_fav_gtk_theme's gtkrc and
increase the xpadding and ypadding attributes for scrollbars, checkboxes
and radiobuttons, to make gnome a bit more touch-friendly :)
