No, not yet.

14.04 LTS was announced, but I'm getting the impression it'll be more 
like 14.10.

Sure!  Switch the phone to read-write mode and then proceed as usual 
with Ubuntu.

According to 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/ReleaseNotes#Accessing_the_system_for_development, 
"You can make the filesystem read/write using adb shell touch 
/userdata/.writable_image and then adb reboot."

Note that this breaks updates, so after that you're on your own.  Might 
be better to use Ubuntu 13.10 for this then, rather than trusty.

Regards,
Nathan
