Robert Wyatt is not exactly "big in Norway", like Leonard Cohen and Anthony and the Johnsons, but let’s try to tie him to appearances on records from Norway, or with Norwegian artists:
Henry Cow "Concerts" (1976). First record on the Norwegian company Compendium. Some of it is recorded on the Høvikodden art centre in Oslo.
Michael Mantler "The hapless child and other inscrutable stories" (1976). Terje Rypdal plays some mean guitar.
Anja Garbarek "Smiling and waving" (2001). Yes, she is the saxophoneplayer Jan Garbarek’s daughter, and an artist in her own right. Wyatt even arranged a concert with her, when he was curator for the Meltdown festival.
Michael Mantler "The school of understanding. Sort of an opera" (1997). Per Jørgensen sings (but Mantler won’t let him play trumpet on this one).
Added March 2008:
Terje Rypdal and Robert Wyatt is on Don "Sugarcane" Harris' "Sugarcane's got the blues" (1972, 2008).
Added January 2009 (yes, I'm pushing it):
Maja Ratkje and Robert Wyatt (and Kevin Ayers) are on "An Anthology Of Noise And Electronic Music vol.4 (2006).
