Not on but beside my Atari. On my Linux box. ;-)

I don't think that it would pose principal problems to build emacs for
MiNT.  Some extensions may not work but I would guess that the emacs
configure mechanism is smart enough to work around that.

But I don't think that you would want to work with emacs on an m68k
machine.  I think that emacs demands vastly more resources than typical
Atari machines care to provide.

You can however start emacs on a remote machine as long as you can access
your local filesystem (nfs or ftp) from that machine.  That's what I
do.  If you like it you can even run emacs from a telnet or ssh session in
your TosWin terminal window.

Ciao
