Q, the OS X port of QEMU has been stuck at version .8 for a while now - at least as a downloadable app.
I downloaded the latest source via Subversion and compiled it.
Now Q matches the QEMU version at 0.9. 
If anybody is interested, I can make it available for download.
It's a viable FREE alternative to Parallels..especially if you just want to run Linux or Windows for cross-platform checking of browsers, code, etc.
It is a MacTel build, but I will happily build a PPC version or Universal Binary.
Download here:

My own limitations are showing in the fact that I need to RTFM on building a Universal Binary.
Once I've grokked said UB building, I'll put it up there, too. In the mean-time, it's Intel-only.

Neat-O!
Is it technically possible to port KQEMU (the QEMU accelerator) to OSX as well?

It may be, but it's beyond my level of expertise.

Is it possible to emulate a PPC machine, in Q, on a PPC machine? Fr'instance, running a Linux virtual machine on a G5?

It's an x86 piece of software.

Updated my original post with a link to download.
As indicated in the updated post, I need to RTFM so I can grok Universal Binary building (it's new territory for me, this whole Universal Binary and other OS X coding stuff).
Until then, it's an Intel-only build.

I don't understand why you would use Q when Parallels is 10x better?

Exactly. 
The very very few things I need Windows for - a couple Windows-specific apps (my company and some clients are VERY Microsoft-centric), Remote Workplace, browser and some other cross-platform checks - shelling out the $$ for Parallels isn't justified.
QEMU offers just what I need.
