Classilla works fairly well in my experience.

Maybe one of us with codewarrior could compile wxwidgets2.8/carbon+amaya?

It wouldn't work. In order for it to run on Mac OS 9 (or Mac OS 10.2 or older), you need WX Widgets 2.6.x or earlier. It would take some effort to downgrade it to 2.6 and still have it work normally. Nice idea though and it's plausible, but I don't know enough about Amaya to look into this thoroughly.

How about Carbon? I'm OK with requiring that.

For that, you have make sure all the calls in Amaya are supported by CarbonLib. (And again, would be relying on WxWidgets)
