I don't see it happening. The Empire would only accept an Imperial as their Emperor, so Bethesda likely wouldn't include it as an option since most Skyrim players don't have Imperial characters.

Personally, I wouldn't want to become Emperor. I find it annoying being the Guildmaster of every single Guild, so being ruler of the Empire on top of that would be worse.
