Hi, I just got a mac and was wondering if there is a way to play EQ Emu on this type of platform.

Yes. EQ works fine in WINE (and various wrappers for OSX)

Wow, that's awesome. I'm not very computer smart. Would you have any links to show me how I would be able to do this?

I just did this myself by using a modified version of this walk-through:
https://www.reddit.com/r/everquest/comments/5zltr9/everquest_on_macosx_on_wine/
Note: Add the DirectX installer and create a Windows shortcut to the eqgame.exe in your EQ Client folder. Path will look something like: Path: "C:\everquest\eqgame.exe patchme", Runs in: "C:\everquest"
I did step 1 and 2 and then proceeded to copy my EQ directory to "/Users/<profile>/.wine/drive_c" from a Terminal window. It's a hidden folder so in terminal just enter "open /Users/<profile>/.wine/drive_c" and a Finder window will open to what is the "C: drive". Copy your EQ client folder here. Once this is done, in that Terminal window, run "winefile". Click on the C:\ and you should see your EQ client directory. Navigate to the DirectX installer and run it. Once done, execute your EQ Shortcut.lnk and your client should run.
Hope this helps!
