Well the definition for the 'em' unit is the size of of the capital
letter M in the current font.  So, it would be possible to create a font
with a letter 'M' that has an absurdly large height.  Then you link the
font to the page, and create a div with a height of 1em.  The pixel size
of the div should match the the height of the absurdly large
'M' (provided you use the right font height).

Not a perfect solution, but its better than nothing.
