Nope.

I don't think this is a dumb idea. However to try to emulate the interace of a TI calculator is a terrible idea. I think if a graphing calculator plug in was to be made, then it'd have to have it's own unique interface.
This is something I would be interested in developing. I haven't developed for rockbox yet, but I do know how to develop software and program in C. I'll be going over the development documentation and possibly starting it. (However my wife would like a kitchen timer app for her device. So I think that will have to have a higher priority.)

+1, I can hardly imagine a 5-button interface emulating a 50-button one. But I think it remains a good idea, and I highly encourage the development of the plugin :).

I use http://sourceforge.net/projects/eigenmatds/ on my Nintendo ds. There is also http://www.dslinux.org/blogs/pepsiman/?p=63 for a ds version of http://mathomatic.org/math/ . I would love to see this feature implemented in rockbox.
Chronon:
One option would be to simply use a virtual keyboard to enter expressions for graphing. An alternative would be to offer palettes containing functions, variables and constants; individual palettes being navigable by directional controls and select button.
