Mecrisp has versions for MSP430 and ARM. For the Arduino, AMForth looks pretty good, though I haven't tried it yet. > Or would it make sense to port mecrisp for ATmega microcontrollers?

Mecrisp-Stellaris uses quite a lot of assembly code--I haven't looked at the MSP430 version yet. I suspect an ATmega port would also require writing a lot of asm code. That could be fun, but if you just want a Forth to use, there are already some.
