You're right, it runs on Node. However as the poster above pointed out, there would be little practical use in combining this with another framework. Meteor is really it's own platform. The whole point is the unification of the client and server codebase.
I'm not sure about Ember, as I believe it tends to be more opinionated about how much of the page it controls, but Knockout and Backbone are generally pretty easy to use for just a portion of the page.
Steve Sanderson (creator of Knockout) has a really good overview of the most popular client side options (both libraries and frameworks).
