This should be very doable now with the release of the Android NDK. From their website:

The Android NDK is a companion tool to the Android SDK that lets Android application developers build performance-critical portions of their apps in native code...

The NDK provides:

• A set of tools and build files used to generate native code libraries from C and C++ sources
• A way to embed the corresponding native libraries into application package files (.apks) that can be deployed on Android devices
• A set of native system headers and libraries that will be supported in all future versions of the Android platform, starting from Android 1.5
• Documentation, samples, and tutorials
