Yes, you can, some one wrote an emulator to do that.
" Qemu-Darwin-user allows Mac OS X/Intel Applications to run on Mac OS X/PowerPC. It's conceptually similar to doing the opposite of Rosetta and was therefore referred to as "Attesor". "

I just found this in a Google search.
Running Intel Mac applications on PowerPC Mac"

I learned a long time ago working in IT for IBM, Intel, LSi Logic, etc, that just about any thing can be done in the software with in reason, as long as you have people with the talent dedicated to making it happen.

Are you aware of Darwine? Panther, Tiger and Leo can run it.
http://darwine.sourceforge.net/download.php

Darwine was the original effort to port Wine to Macs Running OSX and consisted of 2 major efforts:

PowerPC Macs - attempted to integrate QEMU into Wine for x86 CPU emulation. This is NO LONGER ACTIVELY DEVELOPED. The QEMU user mode is now specifically documented for running stock Wine on non-Intel x86 chipsets.

Intel x86 - Wine for Mac OSX x86 has now merged into main Wine project, here at WineHQ.

Darwine has merged back into the WineHQ codebase, but the project has maintained some Intel Mac OSX packages for Wine on the Darwine Sourceforge.

Also look these 5 videos on Intel Apps in PowerPC
EmuOnPPC

Apparently, Intel Cocoa can run (?).

I think on the fly Intel to PowerPC conversion was never optimized. At least Altivec optimized.

Rosetta on Tiger "emulated" a G3 and on Leo and following a G4, someone told me.
 
I communicate in English, not English (International), British English or English (United Kingdom).

The Americans changed the language, so you get the modifier. :D

Hey I'm Irish, and I think even I can give the English the credit for...English. :p

When I see the language selection modifier in games with a US flag beside it, I always get annoyed too xD
