There is a vmware image of OS X Leopard in quite a few bittorrent trackers.

But the really interesting thing is that sun released the 3.1 beta of 
vitrualbox and it is now capable of EFI emulation (Or at least sun claims so). 

So, yes. It's possible to run OS X in a VM

ps. be careful to follow the licence of OS X.

Hi Juan and welcome to the FreeBSD community. You might try VirtualBox,

There's probably a package for it - try:

pkg_add -r virtualbox

However, you may struggle to install OS/X - Apple have some reasonable
technical restrictions in place, and a licensing restriction also that
prevents use on non Apple hardware. As a result you probably are not
licensed to, and may not physically be able to, use OS/X on your new PC.


well, since Juan mentioned bootcamp, i guess he wants to install freebsd on a
mac. correct me if i am wrong

Beyond this, there is a virtualbox installation dmg for MacOSX. It won't
work on a "growing file system," for FreeBSD, but will on a hard limit 
file system size for the installation of the virtual machine.
