In reviewing FaceTime and mobile performance, AppleInsider originally reported that that making a FaceTime call requires an activated phone with service. However, that's only true for the first FaceTime session made from the phone.

Subsequent calls to FaceTime contacts, including users you've never contacted before, can be placed with mobile service turned off completely, such as when flying on a plane with WiFi service (where regulations prevent users from placing mobile phone calls.)

Apparently the first time it has to register that your phone is a Facetime capable device with Apple, but after that you are good to go. Obviously opens the door for FT on the iPod Touch...among other possibilities.
