I experimented once moving a VMWare Fusion OSX guest to my Linux system, and tried it under VMWare Player.  Crashed VERY early.  My understanding from some searches is that OSX will do some CPU ID checking, and my AMD did NOT pass muster as being on a genuine Apple system.

If I had a Linux system running on a CPU used in an existing Mac, then it may have been more successful.

Running as a guest (even under Linux) on genuine Mac hardware probably passes this test.
