Probably not as they won't be useful for the next expansion, and they have never traded up with any badge, they aren't going to start now. Also, this really has nothing to do with Cata.

Did you know that you only used 1 period in that whole post? And you used the word "like" 9 times. Please, if you're going to post on a forum then be slightly grammatical. /end rant
On topic: No, you can't "upgrade" your Emblems at any trade ratio. And Cata dungeons and raids will not be dropping Frost Emblems. It'll be a completely new tier of Emblems and gear so you can't steamroll LK raids at 85 to buy Cata gear.

well ya i was playing wow like yesterday and i rarly trade in badges other than triumph to get t9 &*!@ and like i realized that u cant sell triumph badges for Frost emblems like doesnt even gotta be like 1 triumph it could be like 10 triumph equals like 2 frost but like i realize that you get a decent amount of frost emblems from the the weekly quests and all that other stuff but like i think i would kinda help new players in WoW casue they probly gunna be farming heroics anyways.

A one for one exchange will NEVER happen.
However? I would like it very much if there were a true exchange-rate. 10 Emblems of Triumph for one Emblem of Frost, perhaps. It'd be a helluva lot nicer, for trying to gear up.
Why the hell not?

You don't seem to get why they made different tiers of Emblems in the first place.

Piffle. Why wouldn't it make sense to make some sort of exchange rate? Answer me this: why SHOULD you pay 40 Emblems of Triumph for an item which costs 40 Emblems of Conquest? (And has, since days long past) Sure, give it a strong enough ratio that it's still necessary to run a random heroic every day, to really get your gear soon enough. Blizzard would have to find the right balance for that. If you're willing to put up with enough random heroics to get Emblems of Triumph and trade up for many fewer Emblems of Frost, why shouldn't you profit thereby? You still have to do the work, yourself. You can't exactly buy emblems from gold farmers.

You still don't get it, even remotely closely. But, allow me to explain it instead: It's not supposed to be an exchange. Frost is meant as the highest tier, and you can only get that from the highest tier. If you could exchange the other way, you could just have harder bosses drop more Emblems like they did with Badges of Justice, which failed utterly. There's a reason that system was changed.
Answer me this: why SHOULD you pay 40 Emblems of Triumph for an item which costs 40 Emblems of Conquest? (And has, since days long past)
Because you can't obtain Emblems of Conquest anymore, from anywhere. There are two main currencies here: Current and Previous tier. All the previous ones being "merged" into that, and Triumph can thus be downgraded to either of them. Downgrading is fine.
Sure, give it a strong enough ratio that it's still necessary to run a random heroic every day, to really get your gear soon enough. Blizzard would have to find the right balance for that. If you're willing to put up with enough random heroics to get Emblems of Triumph and trade up for many fewer Emblems of Frost, why shouldn't you profit thereby? You still have to do the work, yourself. You can't exactly buy emblems from gold farmers.
Read what I wrote at the start. It's not going to happen. The fact that you can already obtain Emblems of Frost from the daily heroic is luxury enough. Weekly raid, on top of that, lots of them can be done blindfolded.
