But isn't that the one with a BASIC interpreter in ROM?

You aren't going to fit Smalltalk in there, too.

Also, the 8052's are slow and have very little RAM...

If you want to run an embedded Smalltalk, you probably want to stick 
to the 32-bit processors (Pocket Smalltalk supports the 68332 
processor and similar; others expect a 32-bit address).

Realistically, you will want to have at least 256K of ROM and a 
reasonable amount of RAM. I'd talk to the Pocket Smalltalk people 
about typical program sizes.
