No need for a NeXT box.  Grab a copy of parallels (if you have an 
Intel Mac) or VPC (if you have a PPC mac or a Windows box).

I did just this on a project to convert several hundred thousands 
lines of Objective-C and over a hundred NIB files from NeXTSTEP 3.3 to 
Mac OS X Jaguar.  You need to make a couple of stops along the way.
