You can virtualize it with VirtualBox (it can emulate the EFI BIOS) if your CPU has the virtualization extensions.
But there's no sense crying over every mistake,
you just keep on trying 'till you run out of cake.

There are lots of people who build their own 'mac'

Here is a guide I found http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/how-to-ins ... ing-a-mac/

If you want to emulate it in a vitrual machine ie: VMware, try this http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware

Well mac is created for use on specific hardware, which is the complete opposite of windows/pc.

So I assume it'd be somewhat hit and miss, and if you were to get it working you'd probably find all kinds of bugs and issues.
