Chpwn and Ryan Petrich have announced Spire, a new tool for installing Siri on previously unsupported but jailbroken devices.

Spire is my (along with Ryan Petrich) new tool for installing Siri on previously unsupported, but jailbroken, devices. Spire is a small download, but while installing it will download Siri itself (directly from Apple). Spire is available in Cydia right now - go get it! This will use about 100 MB of data, so please connect to Wi-Fi before installing.

Apple still requires authorization information for Siri so you'll need info from an iPhone 4S. To insert this information, Spire lets you enter your own proxy server.

By using this (ancient) SiriProxy fork, you can setup a proxy using your own iPhone 4S to insert the needed information reasonably easily. Other solutions for proxying Siri will be listed here as they are developed - perhaps that sort of proxy might be included in the main SiriProxy repository.

Spire does not have the copyright issues that previous attempts to port Siri have had. Also rather than directing traffic through a specific proxy server, Spire lets you specify your own proxy server.

We'll be posting more information and instructions on how to set this up shortly.
