I started down this path some months ago and generated the following as
a sort of tentative exploration

http://github.com/eschulte/simple-server

which makes use of

http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsEchoServer

and httpd.el at http://emarsden.chez.com/downloads/

It is certainly possible to go further...

it is currently possible to hand single elisp statements to Emacs in
batch mode, however startup time (starting Emacs, loading all elisp
files, and implementing any .emacs customization) is an issue.  To the
best of my knowledge there is nothing like an elisp REPL currently
implemented, although it would be possible and there has been scattered
discussion on this topic
