Ok, so I immediately found this which answers some of my questions http://docwiki.embarcadero.com/RADStudio/en/FireMonkey_Platform_Prerequisites
I see that there are all sorts of hacks to get Mac OS to run in a virtual but Im not sure I want to go down this route. Especially as we are going to have to apply for dev licenses etc from Apple. So now I guess I have to factor in $1000 for a cheap (new) Mac and $99 for a dev license, before I can even start!
