Which is the best Kernel source tree to start porting 2.6.x to the pm854 platform? I would prefer to stuck with the official sources. Is that a good idea?

Yes.
Thank you, that's what I wanted to hear :-)

Is it a good idea to just 'copy' the pm854 platform specific files (PCI initialization and some MTD driver options) to the 2.6.10 tree and see how it works?Copy from where? from 2.4? No.
Well, I don't know how the platform specific things got moved from 2.4 to 2.6 in the past (yes I am a newbie). I have a working 2.4.26-pm854-something with a platform/pm854_defconfig (and some changed non-official(?) files for the PCI and MTDs) and I want to get the same for 2.6.10+ without changing things at the wrong place.
