Should be possible, though might be easier if you can find a home NAS 
that supports debian (I've seen some over the years). Since it's busybox 
based, why not spin up a virtual machine and try to get mapserver 
compiled and running.

I personally have built a server with a Zotac atom based machine. The 
drives can be inside or out depending on model and it's not any 
different than any other x86_64 platform, so no strange drivers. A 
little more to setup initially out of the box, but long term more flexible.

Enjoy,
Alex
