I'm actually thinking on buying an iMac - not last because I like the design.
Does anybody now if SPWaW will/could run on such a system, maybe using a software emulation such as Microsoft Virtual PC?

I don't know for sure. Games have always been fickle to run on computers. Older programs have always had trouble on newer operating systems. Old games are a pain in the butt. Emulation is never 100% the same.
My advice: go buy a used PC just for SP. You ought to be able to find one for under a $100 or maybe even under $30 if you find a university surplus / auction place. This advice makes even more sense if you are going to have to end up paying for emulation software. I forget the minimum requirements for SPWAW but they are such that computers in that spec range are practically being given away these days. If you already have a monitor / keyboard / mouse then the case itself is definitely doable in the price range I mentioned.
