It shouldn't be too bad actually, NFC works quite differently to bluetooth after all.

BT is difficult because of what controls the device, SailfishOS uses Bluez4/5 and Android uses Bluedroid and you would need to write some kind of middleware to translate. BT is also quite complicated compared to NFC which is mostly fairly simple.

The main trick with NFC would be around message routing, how you do know which app has the NFC focus at any given time between Dalvik and Sailfish OS.
