Unfortunately, there is not (at the moment).
Android on the iPhone requires four different files below the filesystem--iBSS, iBEC, iBoot, and LLB, to be completely different from the stock Apple versions in a major way. I believe that the SHSH blob enforcement against altering those four files are the current largest hurdle.

Do you think it will be possibly in the future.

It'll require a new bootrom exploit (very rare) that can totally bypass the SHSH blob signing restrictions in the bootrom, or further development of one of the three existing exploits that work on the 3GS.
Odds are very slim for either to happen in my opinion. Besides, it'd take a lot of work porting Android to a new processor (8920 as opposed to the 2G/3G 8900, ARM v7 versus 6) and lining up all the new drivers.
In short, don't hold your breath.

If you would rather have Android, get an Android phone. It's the only fool-proof way.

Yeah, android on my 2G was a fun project, but the lack of hardware buttons made it a pain, so I just picked up a nexus one to play with.
