(26, 27 or higher?). Yes, why not? Maybe some recent features are missing with the default libraries provided by that distribution (the libgccjit package probably is too old, so you will not have native compilation of Elisp) but even current Emacs development sources should build and run just fine. You'll need to install the build dependencies, something like this should be enough: sudo apt-get install emacs then grab the Emacs sources and follow the instructions on the INSTALL file.
