Why don't you look for MacOS X solutions? Far and away, your best solution is Virtual PC. You may also try Bochs, which may or may not work with the G5. On general principle, I do not recommend OpenOSX™ Wintel. It is an implementation of opensource Bochs with G4/G5 acceleration and a price tag.

Wine won't run on PPC, only x86. You could try Darwine though, a PPC port of Wine, that is designed for OS X.

Darwine is still very much in the developmental stages. It uses QEMU as the x86 emulator engine.
