This is plausible. The Mac has netboot support, and that's how I get the 
iPXE.efi onto it in the first place. I originally assumed that the network 
connection is gone after the firmware launches the efi application because 
neither elilo nor grub could use it. Yesterday I found out that it is still 
there, but somewhat crippled.

I have to research how to do that on OSX. I read somewhere that the shell is 
there, but you need some third party app like refit to access it.

I managed to achive my goal(netboot with EFI and separation of bootloader 
binary, kernel, initrd and bootloader configuration) with a little grub hack. 
I wrote a mail to help-grub, but apparently it didn't get through. I'm still 
available to help get iPXE working on that machine though :-)
