I'm not aware of an Itanium full system emulator.

What I am seeing is that (very few) customers who migrated their 
software from Alpha to Itanium in the past now consider or even started 
moving back to (emulated) Alphas because they can't wait for x86 to 
become production ready or are reluctant to follow VSI's new licensing 
policies.
