Pretty sure that it won't, unfortunately. Virtual PC has no real 3d support built in, but even if it did it would probably run hideously slowly. You can sucessfully run games that don't require 3d acceleration (a la diablo, tycoon games, etc).

The only cross platform option that I am aware of is Cedega/Wine. They are officially supporting Guild Wars on Linux. That isn't going to help you with your Mac, however, because even though you *can* run Linux, it is going to be a distro that has been compiled to run on PowerPC (like Yellowdog, etc.). Cedega only runs on x86 platforms.

Wish I had a better answer for you - I would love to play GW on my work Powerbook.
