Is it possible to take an old P60 compatible LA thats burned out and use the reflector unit to build up a direct drive LED setup ? Can an emitter be installed on the unit ? Can it be done in such a way to keep heat to a manageable level ?

I think it can be done. For DD, it should be fairly simple. You'd just need an emitter board that has a bottom contact to solder a center spring to for the positive contact. Solder a wire connecting the negative terminal of the Lux (or the negative traces on the emitter board) to the reflector and use it as ground. The outter spring would still act as the negative contact and it would work the same way the incan would.
