If I understand correctly, there is very limited sound support, in (some of) the Nokia ports, for those games that used the 68000 for sound. Most games used the Z80 processor for sound - PicoDrive (as written by dave) doesn't support Z80 emulation so that's simply not going to happen unless someone writes/builds in a Z80 emulator. Which would be a big task.

See (the bottom of) this page about the latest Nokia port for more details:

There may be a new version of PicoDrive for Smartphone though, with a few bug-fixes that Reesy (of DrMD fame) put together. Most likely it would only be small fixes to games that already run; no new games are likely to start working. Anyone who sends an email to [email protected] before midnight tonight can help test the beta, and is welcome to join the hunt to find things that are fixed...
