IBM WebSphere Host On-Demand does.
http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/hostondemand

Runs on all sorts of clients, actually: Macintosh, Linux, Windows, OS/2, 
etc.

The multi-language support is quite slick. You can run Japanese (including 
translated menus and help) on an English system, English on a Japanese 
system, just Japanese characters in the 3270 screens (but English menus) 
-- lots of permutations. And you can switch between languages really 
easily without reinstalling.

My favorite place to install Host On-Demand is on the IBM HTTP Server for 
z/OS. My next most favorite is to install it on an HTTP server running on 
mainframe Linux. I have installed it (just for grins) on a Macintosh HTTP 
server. As a matter of fact it was an old Motorola 68040-based Macintosh. 
It worked.

Full disclosure: I work for the company that makes this product, although 
I do not speak in an official capacity for said company.
