Its not a stepper vs. servo thing at all. EMC2 with HAL can use any kind of motor on any axis, in any mix. The problem is on the g-code and control side. Normal g-code has X, Y, and Z for three-D machining. Foam cutters need X1, Y1, X2, and Y2, and the language doesn't do that. There are probably ways of making it work, but the g-code side of EMC isn't my specialty... I'll let others comment.
