Why not?
There did exist a small AmigaOS emulator for Amiga UNIX, basically
implementing a hunk loader and a few exec.library and dos.library calls.
This was rumored to be sufficient to run e.g. the SAS C compiler.
I tried it once on Linux/m68k, and it could run a simple Hello World.
The only entrypoint you need to provide to run AmigaOS binaries is a
pointer to ExecBase at address 4. If TOS doesn't use that location for
something else, you can implement AmigaOS support.
Good luck! ;-)
