What works:
-Graphics acceleration
-Accelerometer
-Wireless!
-Touchscreen
-Buttons
-Sleep/Wakeup stuff

Doesn't work:
-Sound (sadly! Despite my efforts the last hours I didn't get it working properly yet)
-DSP e.g. no hardware video decoding

I've got Honeycomb running now. The UI is very nice, and obviously a better fit for tablets. I can't wait until I can load it from memory instead of SD. It doesn't seem too slow either, for a development version. I imagine it will be improved when Honeycomb is actually released to the public.

There is a vid on the XDA forum where the user shows that the HoneyComb image is running on the overclocked kernel. That might explain why the nook is responsive.
