Yes, I've thought about this, too, but I'd have to get a copy of
those apps only for the purpose of the conversion; also I was still
using FileMaker 4. Also there might be further (even if less
compelling) reasons to run the old Mac OS for me, too. So I'd prefer
the emulation path.
In this case, why bother using MOL?
Just install Mac OS 9 directly under your qemu VM.
Really? Doesn't qemu only emulate PC hardware (except for the cpu)? For
linux that shouldn't matter as you could presumably compile the PC
hardware drivers into a ppc kernel, but for MacOS that would be an
issue, I thought.

"When emulating a PC (x86), supported guest operating systems include
MSDOS, FreeDOS, Windows 3.11, Windows 98SE, Windows 2000, Linux, SkyOS,
ReactOS, NetBSD, Minix, etc. When emulating a PowerPC, currently tested
guest OSes include Debian Linux."
$ qemu -M \?
Supported machines are:
pc Standard PC (default)
isapc ISA-only PC
In any case, I actually tried like this:
/usr/bin/qemu-system-ppc -boot d -snapshot -m 512 -hda
'/home/chris/qemu/lombi-hda10.img' -net nic,vlan=0 -localtime &
Warning: vlan 0 is not connected to host network
qemu: warning: could not load VGA bios '/usr/share/qemu/video.x'
this eats 100% cpu now and nothing happens; where can I get the
/usr/share/qemu/video.x from?
