Yes, but the MMU stuff importing from WinUAE to Hatari won't happen
in time to help getting this stuff working before FOSDEM though. :-)
My assumption is that it will take weeks as WinUAE code differs
quite a lot from the Hatari code (C++ vs. C etc). Cache miss
profiling I'm doing should be in Hatari sooner though.

Btw. Latest EmuTOS CVS snapshot supports also non-byteswapped
(Atari) partitions, not just PC style byte-swapped ones:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/emutos/files/snapshots/CVS-20130121/
Do you have any idea why EmuTOS (which is GPL v2) isn't packaged
for Debian? That would be really nice as then Aranym & Hatari packages
could depend from it and work without user needing to download something
extra first.
If it's because EmuTOS didn't build with normal m68k toolchain,
I think next EmuTOS CVS snapshot will contain support also for
building it with ELF based (GCC) toolchains. That will be done
to help porting EmuTOS to some FPGA hobby projects. :-)
