I don't think so, but a virtual PC will do the trick and will run much
faster than before (before = G5, G4, G3 era) as the x86 code is now
native code : it doesn't have to be interpreted (emulated) as before.

I thought that Virtual PC incrementally "object code compiled"
apps into PowerPC native code.  The overhead for this is only
a few percent for most apps if done properly.

And the overhead of virtualizing a PC on an x86 Mac environment
may be about the same...
