You can do both.
Most old apps run fine and transparently under X, inside a copy of OS 9.x
run inside OS X as just another app. (No, it's not an emulator, really,
as it's not simulating a processor; it runs at full speed.)
You can "carbonize" apps, so that they run fine (same binary code) in
both OS 9 and OS X, too!
Or you can use the Startup control panel to switch between booting OS X
and OS 9 if you have a stubborn or badly written app you need to run
under 9.x.
Apple managed to make the switch to a totally different process almost
completely transparent to the user in the early 90's. Now OS X is
trying to be the same thing, and succeeding pretty well, with most of the
kinks worked out now the that "real" (i.e. ".1") release of OS X is out.
Or so I hear. It hasn't made it to the wilds of Iowa yet. Our local
CompUSA Apple employee has my name on his list for free copy when the
CD's arrive.
