Like
Carpetsmoker said I used hackintosh, to be precise
KALAWAY 10.5.2 INTEL ISO.
You will find a lot of input here:
http://wiki.osx86project.org
Compatibility lists, what hardware works and so.
Generally I put Mac OS X CD, created partition for Mac in Mac installer, then hit install, reboot, done.

MacPorts integrates very well with OS X as well. The applications that are available via MacPorts natively are installed as .apps.

Thanks for input abput MacPorts, when I get OSX next time, MacPorts will be there

My personal experience with it involves kernel panics, kernel panics, more kernel panics, and then some.

I used
KALAWAY 10.5.2 INTEL ISO on Intel Q6600 + Intel 965G (Asus P5B-VM) + 2GB RAM + SATA DVDRW + SATA HDD, I used it for about 3 weeks, and I got only one reboot, no other stability issues, sound played beatifully, everything worked out of the box, only Intel X3000 is not supported at this time, but that was not a problem.
Mac computer is currently nothing more then x86 Intel based box with s/BIOS/EFI nothing more.
There is also project called EFI-X:
http://www.efi-x.com/index.php?language=english which allows ou to run unmodified Mac OS X on x86/amd64 but I did not have time to try that.
