Mac OS will not run on native boxes without hacking. It needs an EFI to boot off of, not BIOS, which VMs use, and it needs a TPM chip present to validate the "Don't Steal Mac OS X.kext" driver which is there to insure it's an Apple machine. Even still, you can't recieve updates, and likely won't have QE/CI/OGL, which would cripple OS performance. Not to mention other driver issues such as LAN and sound. Additionally, in Virual machines, it would be even slower. So to answer your question, no it wouldn't, with hacks, you could possibly to get it to boot, but you're much better off natively. Remember this is for the x86 version only, which is locked down, the less locked down PowerPC versions wouldn't run as both VMware and VirtualPC virtualize the current x86 CPU with direct access running on the same architecture, (which has some speed), to get a PowerPC version, you'd need to use a slow emulator such as Qemu or PearPC (the latter is pretty much dead). Best way to run a mac is to get one, or hack it natively. IIRC, for the hacked x86 version, according to some online groups, apparently, VirualPC gets a double kernel panic, but VMware runs without sound or networking, and no graphics acceleration.
