OS 9 on OS X?

So, I recently switched from Windows to OSX. I have some programs that run on Windows OR Mac, but only up to OS 9. Is there any way to run these programs on an intel mac running OSX?

Apple announced years ago (2002? or 2003?) that they had stopped development and support of Mac OS 9, and encouraged developers to stop as well.
So, it's not going to happen through Apple's hands. They're focused on the present and future, not an OS of the 20th century.
There are plenty of older computers out there that run Mac OS 9. So people can either upgrade or replace their applications to run on the modern OS, or get an older computer with Mac OS 9 from someone who already has moved on.
Those older computers don't cost much at this point, but they might cost as much as upgrading your software to run on Mac OS X. Add to that the problem of getting support and updates for software written for last century and it becomes clear using more recent software will have better support.
Progress doesn't stand still.
