It depends a lot on what you want to use on the lower layers (e.g. Modulation). The TI Calypso based phones have a built-in GMSK hardware modulator, so it is GMSK. Also the symbolrate is fixed to the one used by GSM. Then there is the DSP which does the signal processing work. Its again tied to the GSM standard (format of the burst and length). It might be possible to put something else into the relativ small RAM inside the DSP, but this could be a huge effort. Besides that you have to modify the hardware of the phone (remove a filter) so that the phone can receive another phone. But this is probably the smallest problem of all.
