Could you get Ultima7 on the DS somehow? -- yes, with a lot of hard work and programming. Could you port Exult to the DS -- well...probably, but it would be a heck of a lot easier to start from scratch from the most part. Console systems are a complete different world... You'd have to re-organize the data completely, and limit the amount of data that is loaded into "real memory". The real problem as mentioned in the other post is the legality of it. There's two problems in that regard: 1. Is a flash card device legal? and 2. Getting the game data onto the flash card -- you would have to do it yourself, otherwise I'm fairly certain it would be illegal for anyone else to do it, without proof of purchase or something. There's a lot more issues than that. I dreamt the dream already of having it on the DS, but its just not worth it to me. I already have a PocketPC :) And there's many more issues/reasons to NOT use the DS, but I think I've covered the main ones I know of.
I don't know if you'll be interested in it or not, but the SNES version of Ultima 7 was ported to the PSP by EA last year sometime. Check this link out for some info (and click on other links for even more info):
