The answer is: very likely, but you'd need to do some significant work.
I got a dedicated server to run on an android and a raspberry pi. But I had to do at least these things:
1. Install a compiler toolchain. You'll have to compile the code yourself for the platform. This means you need, at the minimum: gcc, g++, cmake, make, etc. as well as the dependencies.
2. Work through any possible platform issues - if it's an ARMv6 (or later) chip on the tablet, then we already support that, but if it's MIPS or other mobile architecture, then there may be compiler issues (which I can probably help with)
3. You'll need to set up a standalone install, which is easy: just copy all the resources into the executable directory and create a file called standalone.txt
4. You'll have to work out network issues with the tablet. This will usually involve opening ports or adjusting firewalls. (The server defaults to using port 28000.) You should probably have the tablet use a wired network connection; wireless connections are notorious for lag.
5. All of the above may require you root your tablet which can be very difficult.
6. Other things... that I probably forgot.
Raptor has already managed to run Bitfighter server on Android to my knowledge (am I mistaken?)
