I guess it would be a great hacker project to build a PCIe card with an FPGA (or several) that can e.g. be used to accelerate emulators.
Or would a GPU be more fit for this purpose, and a more cost-effective and practical solution?

GPU are for data data parallel operations, which does not help for emulators which are (for the most part) running much slower traditional CPUs and a handful of support chips all at the same time, which is not data parallel.
