Darwine was a good start on using QKemu on the PPC.  I think the
project's founders found it too slow for any real use.  You should visit
their project pages for more information.

You can use MacOSX with Q[K]EMU.  Again, the project's web pages are
where you should ask.

The latest attempt was with a version near to Wine-1.0.1.  However,
folks here recommend using the latest development version of Wine. 
Unfortunately, I don't have full access to my PowerBook G4 to test
with.  There are attempts to add PPC code to the latest development
versions of Wine.

I'm on an Intel Mac and use the latest development version for testing.
