Step one would be to set up a complete development environment and build Android from scratch for various devices. From this alone you'd learn a lot. Then you need to get comfortable enough with the environment that you can set up a build target for your desired device (ie: the IQ). The vendor will hardly help you with that
The second you have build the first generic working Android for the IQ, custom firmwares become trivia l

I think the IQ would benefit from a custom ROM such as Cyanogen since we can pretty much forget about Honeycomb. as it seems that it will require a dual-core processor such as Tegra and a 1280*720 screen according to Engadget...

Indeed it would. But as you said, the hardware of the IQ is pretty low-spec. Even custom firmwares will give you only so much. Maybe Pocketboot will release a good base distribution for the IQ with the next update, that can be extended upon. One can dream, right?
