All the apps work within WINE (WINE Is Note an Emulator). WINE allows applications designed for Windows to run under open source operating systems like Linux and FreeBSD. DarWINE is a port of WINE to get it running under the proprietary Mac OS X operating system as well as it does on the open source OSes. DarWINE has been progressing rather well and, I think, is working for everything but sound and XP-only apps now.

Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Couldn't the executables be made to run on apples without using an emulator.

I don't think so...older Macs have a different architecture, not to mention a different OS style of operating. The reason why we need an emulator to make most things cross platform is because it emulates whatever is neccessary to make a program run where you need it to (WINE for Linux, DarWine for Mac, Cygwin for Windows; freeware). I can't remember if it's true or not (some rumor out on the web, not sure) that with the Intel chip a Mac can run an M$ Proggie native, but for older Macs, an emulator is your best bet.
