Is such a thing possible? I would assume that the vastly different 
architecture changes between Intel and PPC would not make this possible 
unless the Mac has some form of 'emulator'?

It would be like trying to compile rsync on a Zaurus (ARM process) and 
expecting it to run on my desktop (x86_64).
