I'm not sure what you mean by a MacOS emulator, but Apple seems to be
taking an interest in this port project.  I wonder if they would be
interested in helping out (with info, manpower, whatever) in the creation
of something like MAS for either MacBSD, PowerMac linux, or the HURD if it
comes to the Mac.  They would still make money off of OS and hardware
sales, and would lure researchers, hackers, developers, and other people
that might otherwise avoid the Mac.

(Of course, given people's history of getting info out of Apple, I'm
probably dreaming, but perhaps with the clone revolution, things will
change...)
