Ollie,
You need to join forces with some of the developers on the framebuffer list. About 2 months ago a developer from SciTech Soft (Who wrote and maintains a good portion of x86emu) posted to the framebuffer describing their port of x86emu to the linux kernel and asking if the community was interested in including it into general distribution.
This of course spawned a large debate. I'll spare you the details.
The short of the matter is that somebody did a lot of work on reducing the size of the emulator and made a huge difference by refactoring the layering on how the instructions are emulated.
So its probally worth your while to go read the framebuffer list archives and see if anything else happened on that and ask for a copy since it already has things like stdlib dependence removed.
Since bitworks.com died I haven't signed back up to all the mailing lists.
If you can't find it let me know and I'll dig up the people you need to contact.
Richard.
