If you do this, be aware that loading .emacs again is not the
equivalent of starting a fresh emacs, especially if you add things to
load-path, or simply remove a setq of a defvar-ed variable.  Also,
existing buffers and variables not mentioned by .emacs will survive,
etc.  

For your question, look into load-file or eval-buffer or (perhaps most
relevant) eval-current-buffer.
