Well, OpenMW (an open source Morrowind engine) is open source and thus could be ported to the Switch, it just hasn't been and I don't know any plans for it to be ported. I don't know of any open source projects for Oblivions, so it's rather doubtful that it can/will be ported to the Switch.
To port:
1- obtain source code and resources (sound/graphics/text/etc)
2- convert the latter to an appropriate format for the desired platform, if needed or convenient for the next step
3- adapt the former to the desired platform (you may have to iterate between the previous 2 steps)
4- do a decent testing job (you may have to iterate between the previous 3 steps)
5- release!
To create a simulation:
1- obtain resources (sound/graphics/text/etc)
2- convert the latter to an appropriate format for the desired platform, if needed or convenient for the next step
3- play the original game (and refer to walkthroughs) to learn the mechanics
4- use materials and knowledge obtained in the previous steps to write a game from scratch that, to your best effort, looks and plays like the original
5- do a decent testing job (you may have to iterate between this and the previous step)
6- release!

If someone wants to do it, they will do it on their own time and terms, unless you are willing to pay someone and or create a team of people willing to take on this kind of project.

he said this: "James & the Giant Peach is so unrealistic because peaches aren't giant in real life. Roald Dahl really should have done some research before writing this terrible and unrealistic book. Entire generations of kids have probably been ruined because they thought that peaches could be really big." -
