Yes.

Download this version:

Install booted under OS X, it's an OS X installer package.

Remove the two "netboot" extensions from the System folder>Extensions  
folder.

Should work perfect as "Classic" if you installed OS 9 drivers on the  
HD or partition. I don't know if it will boot, but if it won't, there  
may be a way to get it to boot with a little tweaking. I don't think  
"Classic" is very viable in this modern internet world, so I'd try to  
use it minimally, and OS 9 is fastest as "Classic", so use it booted  
under OS X whenever possible.
