Unless he decides to take a trip to Akavir, that is... It would be cool, yes, for the Dragonborn to assume the mantle of Emperor. However, the shattering of the Amulet of Kings and the restoration of the magical barriers between Oblivion and Nirn eliminated any need for a Dragonborn to be crowned Emperor.

It could give the empire the edge they need to pull themselves together though.

As a few different people have mentioned, many of the most succesful Emperors were blessed by Kyne in some way. Man, I don't know. What kind of work does being an emperor encompass? I doubt the Dragonborn would be suited for that role. And the Dragonborn can't exactly peacefully unite all the provinces and supress any and all wars.
