You going to be the one to get companies like Apple to port all the
Classic apps that haven't been updated in half of forever (i.e. still
68k)? Some of us have applications that there is no modern equivalent
of. Sadly the solution needs to be a well integrated 3rd party
emulator for the newer systems :^(
Basilisk II works just fine for me as an 020 or 040 emulator. I only
wish it would run A/UX and support virtual floppies.
There's also mini-VMac as well. The original vMac seems to have fell
off the face of the planet. Its website is still up, but you can no
longer download the packages.

http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/ <- emulator here.
http://www.rolli.ch/MacPlus <- Ancient Mac OS software
I also had lots of fun with MAE 2.0 on Sun machines, though the
AppleTalk and I think a storage driver (floppy? CDROM?) doesn't work
with modern Solaris's. I was able to download MAE 3.0 before apple
killed off the MAE website, but unfortunately didn't have a serial # for
it, so it's kind of worthless.
There's also Executor which you can find here: http://www.ardi.com/
which is mostly compatible with 68K Mac OS software. It's not open
source, but there are binaries for windows and linux.
