Geodjango seemed pretty deeply rooted in django (in terms of the models/ORM) so my impression was it would be more of a rewrite than a port. The turbogears solution seemed more of an 'addon' which just links other GIS components like openlayers/mapfish for a more convenient use from within TG, but didn't look like a, how should I put it, web gis framework. They had ambitious plans for google summer of code regargding this. My Django and Turbogears expertise is limited though, so take all this with a grain of salt and feel free to report back if you find out something I said here does dot check out.
In any case, it would be cool to have a plugin (in a sense like t2) which would be a GIS toolbox for apps utilizing Tilecache and/or Mapfish (or openlayers directly).
