Given that the x86 emulation is now at the level of being able to boot an XP PC (albeit without any real PCI video cards etc. yet) I imagine they would be possible. Somebody would have to emulate the specific chipsets if they're not emulated tho.
However, performance would be abysmal (~400Mhz Celerons are not cheap to emulate in the MAME architecture) you're definitely not going to be *playing* them in MAME anytime soon.
