Hmm, it should be possible to make a font containing each of the smileys and
use that font to show smileys on the FSF Emacs. The only limitation would be
the multicolourness of some of the smileys. But i can imagine somebody might
be able to hack something using font metrics, zero width characters, and two
character glyphs... Besides, most of them would do ok with just a foreground
and background colour and this would have the benefit of scaling up to match
the size font being used in the document.

I don't know enough about X fonts to do this myself, 
but i might start experimenting if no one else does.

PS I know RMS doesn't like the term ``FSF Emacs''
   but i can't imagine what else to call it.
