I wonder if a Dual core Athlon can be made to have one core emulate a PhsyX PPU.

The niche as I see it for Ageia is to provide an inexpensive option to enable single-core machines to do advanced physics processing and at $300 you could just buy a multi-core proc (assuming I'm correct).
If physics proccessing does become the next big thing expect to see Intel and AMD all over this.
