Funny, I was thinking about this yesterday. It shouldn't be hard to do.
What might be harder is to have some kind of sensible control system - part of the charm of the SID chip music is the way it is programmed.
For instance, a lot of the sounds are quite "glitchy" because the sound chip is only updated every 20ms (on VBI).
Maybe you could code up a DSSI interface to a Commodore 64 emulator? ;-)
