Matthias Raives,
Vojtěch Boček aka tasssadar is working on a multiboot rom for the nexus 7
2013 that will include various Linux flavors including plasma active,
ubuntu touch, etc.
I think this will be your best bet atm.

http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/multirom-for-nexus-7-2013

http://tasssadar.github.io/multirom/

Some days ago he received his brand new nexus 7 2013 and already working on
it:

For further updates add him:

Maybe someone from the core team can contact him for official
collaboration?
It will help plasma active get more visibility & valuable enthusiastic
testers-users making it easier to install and use in such a popular device.

Hope this helps.
Greetings
Kyriakos Brastianos
