erm... not quite sure what exactly you said there, but:
is it possible to port doom: doom has already been ported brilliantly.
if there are goldeneye wads: I believe there is a goldeneye wad which runs on GPDoom, see the previous thread from today about it.
is it possible to port say zelda or something similar: all zeldas except the n64 ones (and of course the gamecube ones) can already be emulated. you could not port the n64 ones as to port something you need the source code, which Nintendo will never give out. Plus it would take years.
What about the possibility of porting some castlevania from ps1 or even mgs: again, source code is needed, so no.

well, if you have a look at www.oot2d.com you can see, that there is a guy REMAKING the N64 Zelda for PC (obviously in 2D, which is better imo). He will also port it to Zodiac and he promissed it to the GBA Scene as well, But we could ask him, if he´ll port it to GP32

In order to port anything you need the SOURCE CODE. Doom was ported because ID released the source code to Doom a long time ago.
