As I know, OSX/MacOS were able to run virtually on some very old 
VirtualBox and only then it required running on Apple hardware, per 
licensing requirements and the need to "check" if Apple hardware 
recognition chips are available.
Later, support for it was removed from VirtualBox mainline.

Apple hardware is nothing but ordinary PC's and there many tutorials to 
run it on PCs, but that violates software license that is (still) 
exclusive on Apple hardware.
Seems like Apple is chasing away legally anyone having MacOS virtual 
machine support..

With Apple hardware and OS I would feel trapped and imprisoned and I 
don't want that - hence Openindiana. :)
