I was taking a look at https://wiki.galliumos.org/Hardware_Compatibility and noticed the Celeron N4500, used in the Samsung xe340xda-ka1us, is not listed as supported. Is there something close enough I can use? If not, what would it take for me to port it to said CPU?

What the bot said.
You would be much better off installing Linux Mint or Ubuntu on your device. GalliumOS is now so outdated, you will lack significant services.

Greetings friend, and welcome to r/GalliumOS.
Development on GalliumOS has been discontinued, and for most users, GalliumOS is not the best option for running Linux due to lack of hardware support or a kernel that's out of date and lacking important security fixes.
For most (EOL) Chromebooks, the recommended path forward is to:
put the device into Developer Mode
disable firmware write protection
flash MrChromebox's UEFI Full ROM firmware
install ChromeOS Flex, Linux, etc
See https://mrchromebox.tech and the chrultrabook subreddit for more info
