What if we reverse this question.  Take a close look at the Macintosh IIci and
you'll see most of the NeXT 030 cube hardware.  Instead of figuring out what
it takes to bring up the Mac OS on a NeXT, how about the problem of bringing
up the NeXT OS on the IIci so we can put some of these machines to useful
work.  None of this magic ROM stuff necessary.  And when Apple comes out with
their really powerful 040 model in the Spring, we'll be ready for them.
