You can run it as Mac/PPC under emulation via Rosetta by Cmd-I in
finder and checking the "Open using Rosetta" (if it's a proper
application bundle anyway).

>From the terminal there's an undocumented way to use Rosetta to
execute an app as such:
/usr/libexec/oah/translate
/Applications/Calculator.app/Contents/MacOS/Calculator

You can verify that the process is running under Rosetta by checking
the Kind column from /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor.app. It
will show up as "translate" if running via the undocumented way, but
the proper application name will show up if it was launched using the
former method.

It's not the perfect way to test Mac/PPC because it's emulated and
I've seen bugs here and there when doing it that way. Also, you can't
test AltiVec instructions and subprocesses will not be run in
emulation.
