Actually, on second thought, yeah it should work just fine.  All the 1541 
is is a serial device, so if a c64 emulator can emulate it, it should be 
able to use the same method to send it to an actual c64 serial port.  
Let's beg Miha to put THAT in a new version of C64S!  I would assume that 
if you know how to program a c64 emu, and know how to access c64 serial, 
it should be pretty darn easy!  (of course I'd have no clue...)
