OS X 10.4 and above: OSx86
If you want to emulate Mac OS X 10.4 and above, you can use Vmware Workstation (and if you want to have a restless night you can try to install Hackintosh on a real PC ) But you have to choose correct kexts and kernel. So, on a russian tracker one good person released a hacked version of Mac OS X 10.6 Retail (Hackintosh) with different boot discs for different architectures (x86-32, x86-64; AMD/Intel kexts).
But if you have true mac you can legaly emulate Mac OS X Server (using Vmware Fusion or Parallels Workstation).

System 1.0 - 7.5.5: Mini vMac System 7.0.1 - 8.1: Basilisk II System 8.5 - 10.3: PearPC OS X 10.4 and above: VmWare
Yes but remember, we need ROMS to emulate MacOS on a PC
System 1.0 - 7.5.5: vmac.rom (need a legal title to a Macintosh Plus to do legally) System 7.0.1 - 8.1: I forget the name but I believe it is legally avaible due to a BIOS update Apple performed, and using a file extractor you can get it from the Update package. System 8.5 - 10.3: PearPC (G3? ROM) OS X 10.4 (Intel) and above: Standard x86 BIOS ROM, which comes with vmWare

Favourite OS Windows NT 3.1 Build 297
Mini vMac requires the vmac.rom to run Mac Plus. Lots of variations go here: http://minivmac.sourceforge.net/doc/var/index.html Basilisk II requires the 68k ROM with any name, it won't work from Update 1.0, as it's for SheepShaver and older 68k roms. SheepShaver requires the Old world ROM with any name to run 7.5.2-9.0.4 or the New World ROM with any name to run 8.5-9.0.4. PearPC: It does not use the ROM at all, and only capable running Mac OS X 10.1-10.4. VMWare: It uses the built in x86 ROM virtual machine, and only capable running Mac OS X 10.4 and later, nut only you can run is to use Hackintosh.

Mini vMac is a good Emu for older Mac OS's, it is small fast and simple. Oh, and if you are interested in Classic Mac, try out LisaEm, it is a good Emu for the apple lisa.

You can basically run everything except 9.2,10.0, rhapsody, and all the pre os x betas
I run Rhapsody 5.1 (DR2) x86 on VMware Server. Think it works also with some versions of Virtual PC. But it's a little bit pointless, since it is very limited a release (low max ram, no afp and almost no available software, just to name three).

Favourite OS 10.6.7
Just to name some more: VMac for DOS will run System1 to 7 if I recall right, can use floppy drives. FusionPC 3.0 for DOS will run System1 to OS8, floppy and SCSI devices should work. SoftMac for Windows 32bit, similar to FusionPC, but lacking sound output. FusionPC is quite nice with DOSBox and a dual core host or better. There are some more e.g. SapeShifter and MESS, but I did not try them.
My favorite classic emulator is SheepShaver, OS7.6 with a Mandriva 32bit host, very fast and stable, many old apps work, even Office98.
