no - if you run the auto box without fluid - all the bearings/seals/clutches/etc that rely on trans fluid for lubrication will not be lubricated therefore doingso will lead to possible wear/damage/destruction in the gearbox.
also, it uses the fluid to take heat away from the gearbox so things will get hotter than designed for.
also 2, most of the hardwarein the gearbox is hydraulic and requires the fluid for things to work.
note: you can replicate the destructive natureof what you're proposing by dumping the oil out of your engine and then running it til it seizes... 
talk to an autogearbox place about it.
is the fluid emulsifying with the water? or are you getting globs of water on top of the fluid? if the later, then you should be able to 'drive' it out by getting the fluid temps close to water boiling point.
plan B would be to dump the oil, heat wasted fluid up to drive out water, refiull gearbox with heated out and run to 'collect for water... repeat until water is gone??
