I could see Civ 5 getting a console port. It's entirely possible for them to do that without any real issues besides it being a bit slower than mouse and keyboard, but, being a turnbased strategy game, the slower controls isn't a big deal at all.
I loved Civ Revolution except for the fact they made it to only last six hours. I played Civ (or was it Civ 2?) on play station and it was a blast. Heck, I used to love playing SIMCITY back on Super Nintendo. I think the market is there for those types of games but I don't think the companies have an interest in reaching out to that side of the console gamer market.
