No, not at the time, there is a bug in XLib's port AFAIK that prevents
Emacs to work on GNU.

You can read ext3 with the ext2 translator, if the partition is smaller
than 2gb. There is no currently working ext3 or reseirfs translator
AFAIK, but there is a read-only JFS translator too (with the 2gb limit
AFAIK).

Mach is very slow, if you look for performances, look on the work to
port the Hurd on top of L4.
