I'll try to do this as soon as I have my fast internet connection
working (this week sometime).
One of the features I'm trying to get working is to allow installation
of the Hurd root directory in a subdirectory of an existing partition.
That way, you can splat it on your primary partition without losing
your other data.

The Hurd's potential for emulation is pretty huge, but it has not yet
been exploited. You'll need separate binaries for the time being.
