But until boards and shipping and Linux is available, it is just a pipe dream. In theory, you should be able to use the various PiTFT boards that use the SPI pins to drive the display.
You might need a 20x2 cable to connect things like HATs, since the form factor is different, but it should be a goal that it all works.
My (possibly false) understanding of the situation was that though the pinout for the pi-2 interface of the Pine and the later model Raspberry Pis are the same, there may be some compatibility issues due to each device using different components, for instance, using different SoCs.
