Nice prompt for a little background reading. From what I see it seems unlikely. strongSWAN appears to support IKEv2 and EAP-SIM but somehow I doubt T-Mobile will hand out the certificate needed in addition to the SIM. The bit that looks tricky is the signalling part to tell the mobile phone network that it can pass the call data over to the wifi connection. This is the sort of thing that's normally buried in the cellular modem, and I don't know of an open version of that. I could be pleasantly surprised though - it would be a good addition to have.
