In case anyone is interested I have got get-iplayer and rtmpdump going
on a SheevaPlug running Ununtu 9.04 (Jaunty).  This is how I did it.

sudo apt-get install libwww-perl libxml-simple-perl
Downloaded quantal get-iplayer deb as suggested by Jonathan above and
installed it, ignoring rtmpdump dependency using
sudo dpkg -i --ignore-depends=rtmpdump get-iplayer_2.82-2_all.deb

Then picked up rtmpdump by
git clone git://git.ffmpeg.org/rtmpdump
obviously git must be installed for this.  Then installed some dependencies by
sudo apt-get install libssl-dev
cd to the rtmpdump directory and
make SYS=posix
then assuming that is ok
sudo make prefix=/usr install

Rather amazingly it all seems to work.  Though only briefly tested so far.
