No, this isn't possible.  Packaging libemacsclient.so separately is not
useful, as it wouldn't have access to Emacs servers running in other
packages.  Additionally, Termux doesn't contain the code needed to
access Android content providers.

Running Termux programs from within the GUI port of Emacs is possible,
effectively replacing the Termux terminal emulator with Emacs.  This
requires building those Termux programs with the package name changed to
`org.gnu.emacs'.  See:

  https://github.com/termux/termux-packages/

and the documentation referred to there for more detailed instructions.

Thanks.
