I suppose anything is possible, but that would be a massive software task and it would be difficult to run in a several megabytes of memory. You would also need a trajectory planner.
I saw that someone was even running a simplified GCode Interpreter (without any real trajectory planning) on an Arduino! (tiny 8 bit processor)
I also don't see the advantage of running stand alone.

Just a thought...
The EMC2 is in c, I was thinking it could be compiled down using your headers. I didn't realize the memory limits though.
My background is in machine design and PC's are not really robust, so we try to go stand alone where possible.
