I concur, I'm building a 3.8.13-bone71-1 right now on my Macbook Pro OS
X Yosemite system. I use a Transcend card reader for creating the uSD
cards from the Linux console in the VM. I've been doing this for
sometime and everything works fine. I haven't setup a cross dev system
on the VM yet, but will and expect no problems. The dist/version of
Linux in my VM is Kbuntu 14.04 32bit. The version of VirtualBox is
4.3.26 r98988. This is a great way to go if you don't run Windoze. I'm
strictly a Linux and Apple person and very happy in that respect.

Probably the easiest way would be to do as Robert suggests and use a

Depending on what you're trying to do, and how you want to do it, a
flash card reader may not even be needed. OSX should have access to
better tools for "flashing" an sdcard than Windows. Then, one would /
could just use various tools over the host only network to transfer
files between the VM and OSX. If just simple executables, sshfs,
netcat, and other standard UNIX tool would work fine to transfer files
directly from one system to the other.

We don't 'provide' any toolchains..
Feel free to ping linaro about mac os x support, or setup a vm..
