OSX intel development pack has been cracked. Here's a video showing an x86 laptop booting OSX:

We'll soon have yet another option to add to our boot loaders after Windows and Linux

Awesome

I might even give Mac OS X a try eventually when it's x86 compatible and released

Apple has no plans whatsoever of releasing it in that way. You'll have to crack it to install it on any random x86 box. Apple is making a move toward Intel processors and that architecture rather than the current IBM/Motorolla hardware, but OSX for Intel will only run (unmodified) on Apple hardware... with the new Intel chips.
So, if you're willing to circumvent the protections on it, you can run it on any x86 box.
