I'd like to see this as well. Personality/mannerisms are part of a character and they shouldn't be tied to other attributes.

Copying existing emotes is probably the easiest thing to do. All the races should have the same type of skeleton, they'll be different sizes, some different shapes, but they all move the same joints. If this wasn't the case it would make animations for job actions (skills, poses, etc) very difficult and time consuming to reproduce.
