You can emulate an old world macintosh machine with SheepShaver or Basilisk II - Sheepshaver emulates PPC while Basilisk II emualtes a motorola 68k processor.

There are intel builds available of both emulators at www.emuscene.com.
However you will need ROM files and a MacOS 7.5 trough 9.0 system disk to get it running.

I don't know if Basilisk is fast enough for Forge.

Give SheepShaver a Try
performance is good, but its a bit unstable.

http://www.gibix.net/projects/sheepshaver/files/SheepShaver-2.3-0.20060514.1.MacOSX.tar.bz2

this build fully supports sound output - you must enable it by using the sound control panel and selecting the integrated device. Otherwise you will have no sound.

the setup process is complicated - you can extract the required ROM file from the MacOS ROM upate 1.0 from the Apple support download page with "TomeViewer" however this is a classic app as well so you're stuck here.

Maybe you find help at this location:

or you can email me - I could send you a copy of the ROM file and the SS config file if you like

unfortunately I don't know about an alternative to Forge or Anvil so I guess this is your best shot.

I have tried Forge with SS on my Intel Mac and it works:
