is it possible for n-gage to emulate gba?
Just as possible as for any Series 60 phone. However, nobody has written a GBA emulator for any phone.

The author's FAQ:

This is FAQ for Frodo, the C64 emulator for N9210 and S60 (N7650, N3650).

GENERAL

BASIC USAGE
===========

B1: How to find help quickly?
-----------------------------
Use the help feature in the Frodo application! It is in the menu. A lot
of things are explained there, like: using 7650 keyboard, game files
and locations, typical game start keys, etc.

B2: How to put games in the device for Frodo?
---------------------------------------------
Frodo supports D64 and T64 files only. You can send the game file to
thedevice via Infrared, Bluetooth or by mail. Frodo can automatically
find the received game file in Messaging (e.g. Inbox).

You can also transfer the file directly to C or E drive(MMC ). The file
should be in the "/documents/E32Frodo/" folder in either drive.

Note: Do not ask me where to find specific game rom files. Those are
mostly copyrighted material and using a rom file without the original
game is illegal.

B3: How to play games that use multiple disks?
----------------------------------------------
When you want to change the disk, select from the menu: "disk
commands/select disk".

B4: What is "edit key" mentioned in help?
-----------------------------------------
That is the "abc" key in 7650 or the key with a "pen" symbol in 3650.

B5: How to change game speed?
-----------------------------
Press edit+up or edit+down. That will change the "frame skipping" value
that affects the speed of the game.

ADVANCED FEATURES (for advanced users only!)
============================================

A1: How make an own keyboard layout?
------------------------------------
The files keymap.cfg and advanced_keymap.cfg are found in the
\system\apps\e32frodo folder. Those contain the key mappings. You can
edit those like any other text files.

A2: How to make several "Quick save" (snap) files and how to start
those?
------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
After storing a "quicksave". exit Frodo and goto the
\system\apps\e32frodo folder. Make a copy of "frodo.snap" and rename it
e.g. "commando.snap". Just open commando.snap from your file manager to
start the game in seconds! This is the quickiest way to start game in
Frodo.

A3: What is frodo.fpr and how to use it?
----------------------------------------
Frodo.fpr stores Frodo preferences. You can find Frodo.fpr file in the
\system\apps\e32frodo folder. You can edit it like any other text file.
The fields in Frodo.fpr are explained in the Frodo documentation that
comes with the source files. That can be found in my web page:
http://www.mbnet.fi/~haviital. Download the source package and look at
docs\settings.html. Note that all the preferences are not used in
Symbian OS version.

A4: The game do not load or gives error. Multiple disks do not work.
Writing to disk do not work.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------
Firstly, as this is an emulator, not the real thing, there will always
be games that will not work. But luckily, many games can be made to
work by changing some preferences.

Try to enable "1541 emulation" in frodo.fpr. That will slow down the
disk operations, but is more compatible.

Anyone knows where I can download a GBA emulator for N-Gage ????

Nowhere. There isn't one. (Didn't you read this thread at all before you posted your reply?)
