At Google I/O it was announced PHP as the latest supported runtime for Google App Engine. This is especially useful for PHP developers who want the automatic scalability. And, yes, WordPress can be ported over to work with Google App Engine: https://developers.google.com/appengine/articles/wordpress
Looking at the billing model it seems quite expensive to host a single Wordpress Website on Google's App Engine.
If we go by the package billing plans it will cost at least $11.16/month for a very light Wordpress instance and more than $45.26/month for anything above.
Would be interesting to run a live Wordpress blog and find out how expensive it will get with the "Per Use Billing Plan". While on this plan, just by running the cheapest D0 Database Instance (0.125GB RAM) ($0.025 per hour) it will cost $18/month. (No, your Wordpress site won't go without any visits for an 1 hour interval, which is required to put the database to sleep and avoid charging).
As soon as PHP runtime for AppEngine becomes available for general use, many Wordpress aficionados will find out the truth about this over-hyped solution.
I so much hope that someone can prove me wrong.
Good luck!
