According to my experience, it's possible, even easy with apache.

But I personally think that people would prefer to have a completely
working emacs.gnu.org (which show the exact same content than 
http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs )

They will use more frequently this subdomain is it's not just a
redirection, and that the point here:
        - do we want people to get the complete and original url
          everytime, and the other url would be just a shortcut?        
        - do we consider that both urls are ok and that people
          should have the ability to use both, as they want?
