I can vouch for it, it does work, but see below

No, you can't run Sparc binaries on a non sparc as far as I know, but if
you had the necessary Sun libraries, you might be able to run binaries for
the 68030/040 Suns on your mac. I haven't tried this however.

I have sucessfully run Sparc binaries under netbsd, Netscape for example,
but only on a Sparc.
