Peter Lewis wrote a Socks v4 application ($50 shareware) for MacOS, though
it apparently hasn't been updated in a bit.  I had good luck with it when I
tried it out just over a year ago.

fwtk should be OK on Rhapsody (either PPC or Intel) with minimal tweaks,
but I haven't had a chance to look at it yet.

If you're willing to run Net/OpenBSD on your 68k Mac hardware, or linux
(MkLinux or PPClinux) on your PPC Mac hardware, fwtk should do fine.
That's the route I took.
