Given that a quine is a program that prints it's own source code, then I 
would say only if an empty file is classed as a program.

I guess that that would depend on whether the language defines whether 
an empty file is valid (it is Ruby, therefore an empty file is a quine.)

Related: is the program the empty file itself, or the statements within 
it?
