Unfortunately it is not going to happen even if you had a quad g5. Inventor is a very processor and GPU intensive suite. Virtual PC only emulates a very basic video card that won't suite it. That is why Virtual PC can't emulate games.
You might be able to start it up, but it won't be useable in any sense and will probably crash.
