No, NewtonOS 2 already uses the 32 bit feature of the SA110. I don't know about NOS 1 though.

All the ARM CPUs are quite compatible among each other. The NewtonOS is different in that it uses Big Endian mode instead of Little Endian mode as all the new ARM devices do. This is another, smaller Problem for the emulation.
