Nope. VirtualBox is not a CPU simulator. Code runs natively, so the only way you can run x86 code with VBox is to run it on an x86 CPU. There are x86 simulators for PowerPC, but they are essentially toys: far too slow for real work, except maybe with DOS.

Its a dead platform.
There are some old power pc linux distros like yellow dog. But only for dual boot.
There is no virtualizer that can give you a solution for four problem.
