Honestly, I think the best chance for this is if they were already working on porting to the PS4 before everything went dark. Talking about when/if it might release on the PS4 was a thing before the PS4 was out. Ideally they would've already been trying it out prior to the console launch. If they put in the time prior to Red Fanfest (after all, they apparently worked on a PC demo while being "laser-focused" on PS3), then that could possibly, maybe, mean they have a half-finished port of Dust to PS4 laying about in the offices.
As to the engine in particular, Dust is based on Unreal Engine 3, which has some native support on the PS3. Other UE3 games have been released on the PS4 (which will actually support the newer UE4), some at the same time as the PS3 (Injustice: Gods Among Us released on both, for example). So, I don't think it's some sort of insurmountable hurdle from a tech/porting perspective.
Worth mentioning perhaps that CCP *does* have access to Unreal Engine 4 anyway, as EVE:Valkyrie is supposedly using it.

UE4's new licence pricing, and Project Morpeus are the deciding elements. AMD is directly involved with SONY in regards to Morpheus, and SONY is in AMAZON's AWS Cloud already with CCP's battle servers.
CCP has a shot at "greatness" on the PS4.
They already paid for a UE4 license for Valkyrie.
Regardless, the architecture of the PS4 is such that porting to PC/PS4 is a similar task. The larger issue is likely the profit sharing that happens if you appear on a Sony console. Does Steam take a similar cut of digital currency sales compared to Sony?
/shrug
The PS3 is on the way out either way (not going to be manufactured anymore, etc.). So, hopefully they've made same sort of plan or it'll just be a "Thanks for playing Dust!" message after some point. The restricted budget their skeleton crew is presumably on now does not give me high hopes for some ongoing/concurrent development either.

Dust will have an easier time finding an audience on PC.
Audience=a bunch of goat molesters?
That's basically the current Dust playerbase anyway.
