Yus I agree the Arduino boot loader is irrelevant as it gets replaced. If Amforth can be persuaded to run on the chip (no reason why not it works fins on a 328) the other differences should be fairly trivial.
Only way to be sure is to try it. If the cost of the board is a touch steep for a maybe, then either stripboard or breadboard up a minimalist setup with a blank chip and take it from there. Once you have that working to your satisfaction buy in a rugedised board. Mathias's parts files seem to be pretty much there from the limited experience I have of them.
