No I believe emotions are nothing "more" than process based mechanisms just like everything else in our brain, and thus can be mapped to a computer as well. For example: http://www.wired.com/2012/06/google-x-neural-network/

As you can see, the AI in the link above, developed a likeness/fondness/attachment/attraction/whatever towards cats. Now we might be able to deduce why exactly that happened, because that system is relatively simplae compared to our brains. But the simple fact that this happened is proof that our emotions can be and in all likelihood are process based.
