Well, no, but I just found this:
WordPerfect and other "classic" applications will not - and will  
never - run on Intel-based Macintosh computers such as the MacBook,  
MacBook, and Intel-based iMac and Mac Mini machines. It may be  
possible to run WordPerfect on PPC-emulator software that runs inside  
OS X on an Intel-based Macintosh, but the the result will never be  
worth the effort. Performance will be painfully slow and access to  
files and printers will be difficult or impossible.

So I guess it's a moot question for me and this iMac.
