As stock UAE has no MMU support: not far.
I've just noticed somebody attached the UAE-MMU-patch to the UAE package
on bugs.debian.org, but I haven't tried it yet.
JFYI, I had no problems compressing my old 2.6.8.1 uClinux kernel image
and booting it with a uC-enabled Amiboot under UAE. So it needs more
investigation...
BTW, UAE in Debian works fine, but the Ubuntu one didn't work well on my
(64-bit) laptop: it ran way too fast, making it impossible to double-click and
very hard to use the keyboard. AmigaOS clock showed me a seconds hand
running around like mad (ca. 25 times too fast)...
