If you are adventerous, you can try plex86. It's far from 1.0, but
sometimes works. I haven't tried it, but I am on the ML, watching
the progress (which slowed down considerably, since Mandrake fired
one of the developers, which worked for them full-time on plex86).
BTW, it's closely related to bochs (that others mentioned) - they
try to share code of relevant things (things that are emulated,
rather than "virtualized").
BTW, it's freeware.
