It is not possible to execute it natively, but you can run it at 
degraded performance inside an emulator like Bochs or QEMU.

Maybe you want to run a proprietary software package that is distributed 
only in binary form. I do NOT support this. Proprietary software is bad 
for its users and society in general; your problem is an example of why: 
It takes control of the user computing and puts it in the hands of the 
developer. Users are subject to whatever features or antifeatures the 
developer puts in his software. With free software, you can easily 
compile a version for not only x86 but almost all modern architectures 
(except for a minority of software that needs porting, but that would 
likely, though not necessarily, be because it is broken by depending on 
architecture-specific behavior).

Regards.
