I decided to fire up MAE on my RDI PrecisionBook 160, a 160MHz PA-7300LC with 512MB of RAM and HP-UX 11. While I'm not game enough to possibly pollute my kernel with HP-UX 10.x AppleTalk drivers, not only does MAE run, it runs very well. I could even play Wolfenstein 3D on it better than my 540c, and Ultimate Doom played okay, with some graphical issues.
Turns out there is a hidden binary in the main executable to run a mysterious Midnight Emulator. I'm going to have to dig into that more, but anyway, MAE is great on PA-RISC and I really want to try it on my big dual PA-8900 C8000 now.

A real PowerBook: the Macintosh Application Environment on a PA-RISC laptop
I like the Power ISA very much, but there's nothing architecturally obvious to say that the next natural step from the Motorola 68000 family...
