You could always try to create a FrankenMac using VirtualBox (see 
<http://tinyurl.com/3xpgrm8> for an example).  AFAIK this is forbidden by the 
Apple EULA.

Sorry? There is plenty of software available for macosx. This used to be a lot 
worse, nowadays there is pretty good software available in most application 
categories. 

A crippled version that can only be used to build software would IMHO not be in 
Apple's interest. The costs for buying an apple system should be acceptable for 
anyone that is serious about developing software for OSX (macmini's are USD 
699, and those are easily capable enough to build and test software).
