We already have it running on the PDP-10 reconstruction, and it is known that people around Deutsch at BBN ported it back to the PDP-1. But that version has been lost. From the link you gave, a backport would be feasible... especially because the PDP-1 simulator has the full memory upgrade to 64Kw!
Actually, https://github.com/cl-aip/eliza/ would be a great starting point for a backport to Lisp 1.5. Hmmm...
