I'm not aware of anyone currently working on classic Mac OS support. PowerPC 
system emulation has been broken for a while--at least I haven't had any luck 
booting a recent Linux distribution with a 2.6 kernel--so even with the 
proper firmware support, getting classic Mac OS to boot might be difficult 
until it's fixed.
