EMC is not only capable to control 5 axis machine, it also is capable to handle different calculations and conversions in kinematics to get a match between axis and joints. I have a kinematics module, which takes code for 4 axis - 3 linear axis and tilt angle for A axis, calculates position for C axis, which is equal to tangent of the XY movement and transfer it into correct movements for joints, which are mounted on A and B axis. So basically, I have a machine with two horizontal rotary axis, which behaves like one of the rotary axis is vertical.
There are examples, where EMC controls also a hexapod (robot with 6 legs and 3 joints (motors) in each leg). Short answer to Your question - yes, EMC definately can handle a 5 axis machine.
