If I could find a copy of NeXT's operating system, NeXTStep, would it be possible to run it in something like Parallels on a Mac? This Wikipedia page says that it ran on Intex x86.

Looks like you should be able to get it to run on VMware Fusion
Proof it can be done: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T9CfzpYt2Uc
Sources to get it to work:
- Quick OpenSTEP VMWare Fusion Success (Says to follow same steps for NextStep)
- Here's how to install and configure NeXTSTEP 3.3 on VMware Fusion on an Intel Macintosh running Mac OS X 10.5.
- Install NextStep, OpenStep or OS2 Warp in Fusion (Not sure if this one is relevant, but you never know...)
It is possible to run OpenStep 4.2 on Parallels, the process is documented extensively here. https://openstep.bfx.re
