The only change that is planned is to make the backend configuration 
web-based, as opposed to requiring a separate application. The only time 
this would make any difference would be adding/removing tuner cards, 
adding/removing storage, or scanning for channels. In order to 
accomplish this, the backend must be designed to run in an unconfigured 
state, and those mechanics must be moved from mythtv-setup to 
mythbackend and exposed through some external interface. Neither of 
these tasks are something that can be "ported". All that leaves is the 
web GUI itself, which all told isn't a great deal of work compared to 
the other parts, and isn't worth doing anything but taking some design 
cues before writing a new one from scratch.
