They weren't. Amiga 68K systems had significantly different system architecture from Apple 68K systems, most notably in terms of their graphics and audio hardware.

Weeelll... there were some special-purpose tools, but they were much more special-purpose than anything we call "virtualization" today. The Amiga version of Basilisk II [1] ran 68K code directly on the host processor, for instance. Later on, there were tools like Mac-On-Linux [2] which would run PowerPC MacOS on a PowerPC Linux system.
