Yes. A $10 Spartan 3 could run a simple core and interpret LISP code. It's been done before, check Open Cores.

Been there a couple times. Emulating a real Lisp Machine would be a little more complicated than just a Lisp-running processor - you have miscellaneous hardware around it. I was imagining something software-compatible with a Symbolics or LMI with a USB port for keyboad/mouse, an SD card slot and an HDMI output.
