There is a live knoppix based cd - Knoppix-MIB (whih comes in two 
flavours - x86 and ppc). Tried it once and it worked on a g3 imac. 
Can't find the URL - google is your friend.

There's the mac-on-linux project, which allows you to run OS9 and X on 
top of linux - that's more like virtual pc than WINE. Although there's 
alot of activity in the emulation area (DarWine, Bochs, PearPC) I can't 
think of anything designed to run OS9 apps on *nix, whether ppc pr x86.

Recently, there's been a burst of activity on the ppc linux distro 
front: Mandrake have released a 10.1. ppc alpha, there's Gentoo, Debian 
(inc Ubuntu), Yellow Dog and Crux ppc.
