It might surprise you but the hardest things to "port" need not be, WinUAE is as compatible as it gets that part will compile. It's the "easiest" part that needs porting... UI, SDL, and other extras Toni mentioned (some of them can be done without, they're mostly luxuries really, who wants to print stuff from the emu anyway.)
It's just that it hasn't been done.
I guess you could use SDL (spitting GFX\Sound) and WXwidgets (for the GUI), make it compileable with MingW\GCC and you'd have a pretty much portable thing a lá SDLmame.
