Have you tried?  I thought that "carbon" apps should run under 
Rosetta.  Of course your apps might not be "carbonized" (I think 
those are the right terms, it's been years, and it's late).

I suspect you are out of luck.  Most of us with non-Mac OS X apps are 
trying to run stuff so old that they're 68k apps.  I've found that 
anything I am interested in that had a PPC version now has a Mac OS X 
version.
