No. The "asm" for the TI-83/84 machines is actually machine language for the Zilog Z-80 microprocessor which those calculators are based on.  The "asm" for the TI-89 is built around the Motorola MC68000 processor which is a completely different machine/architecture.  There is no good way to translate from one to the other without a complete re-write of the entire program.
