I believe this would be hard, and I know that others have asked about this part 
before (I think Eli's response compared it to "Racket swallowing gcc" when 
compared to using Gnu lightning).

However, running racket under Emscripten might potentially be possible without 
the JIT entirely. Anyhow, it looks like Tony Garnock-Jones' response contains 
the current "state of the art".
