I don't know if it'll work, but you could give it a try.
First note that tech support does not support this, so you should proceed with caution.
I would suggest you:
1. Backup all the data on your NAS
2. Upgrade to the latest RAIDiator firmware (http://www.readynas.com/RAIDiator_x86_4_2_17_Notes) if you haven't already
3. If you haven't already install the EnableRootSSH add-on for x86: http://www.readynas.com/?p=4203. Installation is via Add-Ons > Add New
4. Install the Java community add-on: http://www.readynas.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=45751
5. Login to SSH, user is 'root' and password will initially be set to your admin password. Use the Terminal on a Linux or Mac Machine or PuTTy on a Windows machine.
6. Download and attempt to install your minecraft server.
7. If you can get this working you'll want to setup a way to automate running this on startup, but best to see if it'll work first.
