Playing around on github I came across VC4CL for the Raspberry Pi.

"VC4CL is an implementation of the OpenCL 1.2 standard for the VideoCore IV GPU (found in all Raspberry Pi models).

The implementation consists of:

The VC4CL OpenCL runtime library, running on the host CPU to compile, run and interact with OpenCL kernels.
The VC4C compiler, converting OpenCL kernels into machine code. This compiler also provides an implementation of the OpenCL built-in functions.
The VC4CLStdLib, the platform-specific implementation of the OpenCL C standard library, is linked in with the kernel by VC4C"

Would this make it possible to mine with the Pi's onboard GPU?

The XU4 uses the Mali T628, openCL drivers supported by the manufacturer... makes it alot easier. The tinkerboard is another one that is known to work.
