Let's see if I can beat gregf to the punch...
There's been some developments this year with regards to analog/discrete circuitry simulation, outside of MAME, by a former/current/occasional MAME developer.
See here: http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=208582 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=209845 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=210014 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=211400 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=211654 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=212202 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=213090 http://www.mameworld.info/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=&Number=213822
It's possible that this time the simulation might be accepted into MAME. If not, then it will just become a popular spinoff project.
So, yes, it is possible. I haven't heard much from Juergen recently, hopefully he hasn't hit a brick wall or anything.
