That's what "emulating OS X on an Xbox" means. It means emulating a Mac
that can boot OS X and booting OS X on it.

The emulation ran at about the speed of a 50 MHz G3. Emulation overhead is
typically about 10:1. The only reason things like the 68000 emulation on
PPC Macs or the x86 Rosetta emulation are usable is because they're not
emulating the whole OS and graphic environment, they're dropping out of the
emulator to native code when they can.
