Leopard doesn't allow OS9 to work. As of last I checked.

 Is there something available that will allow me to use

Eh?  NOTHING extra is needed to let you run Classic Apps on PowerPC.  It's built into all version of OS X from 10.0 to 10.5.   You just have to install Mac OS 9, and if you have a machine that will run OS 9 at all then it was provided with your machine (I think). At worst you might have to get a copy of Mac OS 9 from someone in the MUG or from Apple.   If you need some earlier version of Mac OS (1-8) then you'd probably have to use something like Sheepshaver or another Mac emulator, since I don't think the built in Classic support in OS X supports Classic Mac OS versions before 9.x (9.2 I think). 
  
By the way, there's a further deliniation; are you talking about 680x0 processor apps, or PowerPC processor apps under Classic? 
  
Out of curiosity, What do you need to run under Classic, anyway?  I haven't used Classic at all in years.  I don't think I even started it more than once or twice on my PowerPC G4 laptop, replaced over a year ago.
