http://gnupoc.sourceforge.net/ gives a toolchain for S60 on Linux/MacOSX

You will need also the SDKs and the patches for QT support and, very
likely, you'll want to use wine for some of the tools.

I have recently installed a toolchain for S60 (no QT support) on my
laptop. See

for the juicy bits.

Nokia's Maps application is using OpenGL and works well, but is a native
C++ app, so I don't know how much slower a Java app will be.
