Hi SRJCracker,
I assume you mean Mifare DESFire EV1 "card emulation" capabilities (because nRF52 cannot handle NFC reader mode), then answer is: yes, in theory you could implement ISO7816-4 APDU protocol according to DESFire specificaiton on top of ISO14443-1/2/3/4 stack provided by nRF52 HW. However it won't support DESFire native protocols (see details e.g. here) and you would also face licensing issues I believe (as far as I know you cannot freely implement and use DESFire brand, it's subject of license agreement with NXP).
However Nordic's SDK supports NFC Forum (NDEF) Type 4 tag which effectively implements subset of DESFire commands and functionality. So if you are fine with select app/file, read and write capabilities then you can use it straight away.
Cheers Jan
