No, you would need to port u-boot to the hardware. The OMAP and the
necessary built in peripherals shouldn't be a major problem, but you
would have to get the rest of the hardware like the SDRAM and other bits
& pieces initialized/configured before u-boot will run on the hardware.
Be aware that you need to be very good and extremely lucky to load a new
u-boot without bricking your n810. If you try flashing u-boot, you
better have an alternate means of reloading the firmware (i.e. a JTAG
debugger).
I'm curious: why do you wish to replace the n810 firmware? The current
firmware initializes the hardware and boots linux... those are the usual
primary reasons for porting u-boot to new hardware.

P.S. I have a n800. It would be cool to have u-boot running on it, but
I don't see the pain vs. gain paying off.
