Did A/UX or MachTen ever run on a Quadra? If so, that would be the thing to try (assuming you can find a copy). Really, MachTen is the best bet.
I do know of some Unixes which'll run on a Quadra, but as I recall, they're pretty out of date and feature impaired. Not much use. (Tho potentially fun as a technology demonstration of course.)
