Hi Coulson, GeoDjango is just Django. You can write an application that checks upon initialization which type of environment it's located and then you can set the DATABASES property on settings.py.
Using the technique I've told you above, you can store GIS data in two databases (for web application you can use PostgreSQL with PostGIS) and for offline use SQLite. Natively, Django does not speaks "shapefile", so you will need to create a routine to export your data to shapefile. Anyways, you can always export your data to SQLite databases and use GeoDjango to render those data to OpenLayers in GeoJSON. Should work on any modern smartphone.
