The company that makes Mac-in-DOS (or is it Mac-in-PC?), the utility
that reads Macintosh diskettes on a PC, apparently has an OS/2 version
as well.  I'm afraid I don't have more details though.  Please let us
all know what you find out.

As for Macintosh programs running on OS/2, there have been persistent
rumors to that effect (starting a long time ago in Byte, most
prominently).  Due to the Apple/IBM alliance, most observers expect
this to occur in one form or another at some point in the future.
