    I´m not really sure. It could be possible but it would take some serious tweaking.
    Plus since you have no hdd or disc support(without opening the ps3), it would have to be through usb.
    That last time i tried kloader, my Pal ps3 crashed.

    edit.
    the hard drive support is limited to the ps2 games that could be origenly installed to a ps2 internal hdd.

    Very much doubt this would be possible (or useful). For one, the original Linux kit forced the GPU into a mode where it output a non-standard (Sync on Green) VGA signal which required a special cable. Even if you had one of these, it's likely that either the emulator or even the PS3s hardware isn't able to generate this signal.

    If you were to somehow get it working, you'd still be left with an extremely slow OS (perhaps slower than on PS2 hardware due to emulation overhead) with a very outdated kernel (pre 2.4?).
