Yes, altough mac os X needs MOL 0.9.68, the newer versions has problems.

Well, MOL needs the linux kernel to work, and the pegasos will probably
never run Mac OS natively until Apple gives us a licence to port it
(probably not this ;illenia though). That said, i imagine that you could
setup a basic linux system, that zould boot into  Mac OS x auickly, and
not present the user with linux as user interface.
