Something like this mapping can be achieved. Normal text could be set with an "unmodified" version of GNU Freefont, while you could create \textipa{} as using the same font with the ASCII2tipa mapping. So your document would use kind of two fonts. A "textipaEnvironment" seems not useful. When inside it only IPA characters would be used you could switch to the mapped font, when normal and mapped characters are used there is no means to distinguish between them, so you would need to use \textipa{}.
