I may have slightly misspoken.  Since sometime in 2003, new Macs can 
not boot directly from OS 9.  They are only able to run OS 9 in 
emulation.  My G5 did not even have OS9 installed by default nor did I 
even bother to install it.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Apple drop all support for classic on 
future versions of OSX.  When OSX came out it ran on all sorts of older 
hardware (604's, etc).  When Jaguar came out it officially supported 
only G3 or better based machines.  When Panther came out it supports 
only new world ROM machines (colored iMacs or better).  As they convert 
more and more of the OSX code base to 64 bit (for the G5) I'd be 
surprised to see them bring the classic emulator along.
