Classic Mac OS will usually install in an emulation environment, but Mac OS X usually won't install without a lot of hacking. You should be aware also that Apple doesn't license Mac OS for use on non-Mac hardware. You can perform searches to find people making them available, but since they are protected by copyright, it is only legal if you own the hardware in question (which, of course, undermines many of the reasons for emulation.)
