Different sources do indicate there probably won’t be any support to Windows Phone 7, ever, thanks to its nature. According to David Helgason, CEO of Unity Technologies:

[WP7] is a relatively closed system so you can’t run native content, which means we can’t really support it. We could, in theory, do what we’ve done with Flash, which is to rewrite the engine so it works inside a non-native environment. So it could be done, in theory, but it’s very much in theory because that would require a huge amount of work and uncertain results.

Despite that, there are some alternatives to Unity, such as farseer, and there is FFWD. Quoting its home:

This is a framework that allows you to port your Unity3D projects to XNA - allowing your games to run on both Windows Phone 7 and XBox 360.

The philosophy behind the framework is to allow you to do most of the porting automatically, so you can do most of your work in Unity3D. This also includes porting all of your C# scripts and automatically convert them for use in XNA.

What this means is the the FFWD framework is mimicing the Unity API as closely as possible.
