Yeah, as Derision said PowerPC CPUs are significantly different from x86 CPUs. EQEmu would need to be completely written in order to get it to work. You can emulate or use virtual machines until you are blue in the face, it isn't going to change the fact that at the machine level, the CPU is processing bytes in a different order than EQEmu requires. There is software to get around endian issues, but honestly it's difficult for even a knowledgeable user to use, and you'd be lucky if you got 10% of the normal speed. EQEmu would be unusable in this situation.

Sorry to tell you this, but there is no easy solution. Software emulation or otherwise can't help in this situation. :(
