It's very great and wonderful idea !
The Darwine http://darwine.opendarwin.org/ project aims to to the same
but under Mac OS X with adding also the emulation of an x86 CPU.
But, I wanted to know something, or even to make a proposal.
Would it be possible to make a special Wine version for Linux PPC that
instead of emulating Windows would emulate Mac OS ?
Yes there's already the very great Mac On Linux PPC (MOL)
http://www.maconlinux.org/ that can let run Mac OS applications, but you
have to run Mac OS in parallel ... It is great, but Mac OS takes rooms
and CPU and for some usages, maybe it is not completely useful. Would it
be possible to make such a software a WinePPC for exemple that would let
run Microsoft Office X 2004 Mac or Adobe CS Mac or Macromedia MX Mac
directly under Linux PPC without having to install a Mac OS ?
No that wouldn't work at all as Wine is a reimplementation of the Win32
API and MacOS dosn't use that. So you would need to start a new project
that implements the MacOS API.

To make simple to run Mac OS softwares directly under the Linux desktop
environment.
