My friend, an Amiga nut, runs AMAX, a mac emulator, on his Amiga.  It is 
completely software driven and the new version he's been telling me about
supports sound and 256K roms.  It is the equivalent to a MacII, except for
the color, I think.  I can get a demo and post a more thorough description
if anyone wants but I know it doesn't require Mac roms.  It reads them from
disk and puts them into memory.  The reason I know in the first place is 
that I was going to buy a MacIIsi and he kept trying to convert me to an 
Amiga.  I know I want a NeXT though.  

Summary:  There is no reason (barring politics) why a mac emulator couldn't
          be made for a NeXT.
