well the card will start.. and everything it will just not run.. transmission solenoids dnt work and idk what else the thing has but it would run in neutral..
you forgot to mention that the engine must be running for the brakes to work. With a blown tranny this may not be possible.
Which brings up another question...what happened to the transmission? It it is really broke, is it even possible to get it into neutral to tow it? And would it be safe tow with all 4 wheels on the ground if you could?
I would STRONGLY suggest you consider towing it on a trailer, not like this...

Trust me, you don't need that thing locking up the tranny at 65mph, especially with someone in the jeep.

Edit: Well....so I have no idea how I got to this thread without realizing how old it was lol. It's late and I should probably sleep. Oh well lol
i was looking up how to tow my vehicle, and although this is an old post it shows up in google near the top. You've probably already towed your cherokee by now, however, I think it should be stated that going by the owners manual the transfer case should be in neutral and the transmission in park. If you are worried about it slipping out of position however I would recommend removing the pumpkin side u joint on both ends and zip tying the shaft up and out of the way.
