 What is needed is something similar to the Virtual PC dor the Mac which set up the enviroment for  various PC operating systems.It was possible to purchase VPC "bare" and you could then install any legal copy of Windows,i.e. the retail boxed one from the store that didn't specify what brand of computer.

Now why would installing a retail boxed OS4 be any different?

For the masochists or whatever;just install the VPC on your Mac, then install Windows and tweak it for best performance of Amiga Forever ! It should run almost as slow as the original.

 We might be better off with a Mac_PPC AROS or whatever.

Maybe write Amiga "themes" for Linux OSes ?

 The attraction of Mac PPC is cheap hardware;I just  bought a Mac "digital audio" G4 466mHz tower with ATI 128 card and 15 LCD studio monitor for $100 from a person who decided she prefers Windows ( and besides she insisted the Mac is only good for dial-up internet!!! Couldn't convince her that the  Macs have had ethernet  port standard for years!) This person is a professional supporting activists "causes";no wonder they need so much fundraising,

 I'd pay $100 for licensed,supported Amiga OS4 to run on this computer.
