I've heard that it's potentially possible, if someone's willing to do
the hacking required, like what was done in XPostFacto.

 But wow, why would you want to run it on a NuBus machine? The PCI
PowerMacs are bad enough with the 50mhz bus speed bottleneck, thus I
imagine 33mhz would be rather painful. Not to mention that you can't put
more than 256MB RAM in the NuBus machines, and I think that's only in
the 6100 series. Plus, no USB, Firewire, and basically no expansion
cards, as I doubt that even if someone were to make OS X install and
boot on a NuBus machine, I highly doubt they'd be able to get it to
recognise the NuBus expansion cards.
