The Duo v2 is an ARM ReadyNAS. The ARM platform uses Debian Squeeze. It can run a fair bit, but still not as much as the Intel (x86) platform.
Plex Media Server can only be installed on x86 (Intel) ReadyNAS units. PMS for Linux is only available for devices with Intel CPUs. Unless the Plex team decide to make an ARM version there won't be an add-on for ARM. Considering the system requirements for x86 (http://www.plexapp.com/linux/linux-pms-download.php) even if an ARM version is made the ARM ReadyNAS units may not be powerful enough to run it.
Consider a ReadyNAS Ultra or a ReadyNAS Pro. These use Debian etch though it's mainly Debian Lenny or Debian Squeeze packages backported to etch.
There are some conflicts at the moment but once these are resolved (no ETA and could be quite a while) one would expect the Ultra and Pro to move to using Debian Lenny or Debian Squeeze.
