dosemu (www.dosemu.org) has an x86 emulator derived from the one in Twin
(www.willows.com). I am now testing the Twin version on the iMac and the
results are already very encouraging, the emulator is quite fast and has
no endianness problems AFAIK.
However, the Twin emulator does 16-bit protected mode only. But the dosemu
version can do almost all, from real mode to 32-bit DPMI. GDT,LDT and
paging have already been implemented, even if not yet fully debugged.
The dosemu version is at http://www.dosemu.org/~alberto.
