NXP has the code for an I2C to CCID bridge to allow the use of normal 
CCID/PCSC interactions to their SE050 chips.  The devkit (MCUExpresso) 
for the board mentioned in the link below has the source code for the 
bridge.  It's under the SE_hostlib_examples as the se VCOM device in the 
K64f sdk.

This might be a good base to start from.  The code is written for an NXP 
K64F, which is ARM M4 based.  The particular board I worked with had 
Arduino compatible connections.

It's not exactly what I think you were asking about, but I would think 
you'd need to add a smart card emulator on the back end as well - or at 
least play around with the RAW interfaces.
