All things are possible, it just requires someone with an itch annoying enough they are willing to scratch it! Not sure of the value of an interface to a DecTalk emulator though. All platforms now have good quality software TTS support and hooking into the native TTS API for each platform is probably the only way to ensure good performance. The real challenge across platforms seems to be the 'glue' language used to interface between Emacs and the TTS. Hard to find something which will work across all platforms. The real advantage of something which works with a native Windows API would be that once you have Emacs installed, all you would need to do is install Emacspeak (same experience as with the mac, where installing Emacspeak is even easier than on Linux). There would be no requirement to install additional emulators or TTS engines etc.
