Not similar to WINE (at least as free software).  There is MOL
(Mac-On-Linux) which is similar vmware, in that it allows you to boot
MacOS on top of a virtual machine environment hosted inside linux. This
will only work on a PowerPC processor.

There is a commercial company that makes a products called Executor, that
is an emulation of the Mac Toolbox API's along with the a 68k processor
emulator that allows running MacOS binaries (at least those compiled for
68k) on Windows and Linux.   I don't know if they have a PPC Linux
version, or only x86.

Finally, there was vMac, which was a project to create Boch's like
environment for hosting 68k MacOS, which has gone pretty dormant.  It'll
book System7 on an emulated Mac Plus, but it is very slow.
