Well, there's DOSEMU for Linux, which should compile for OS X if you're 
fairly techy (I have to keep in mind that people on this list aren't all 
Linux experts! Quite a change... :-) ).

Also, FreeDOS should work well with BOCHS, but BOCHS is pretty slow. I 
also run the free version of SuperMemo under WINE on Linux.

I think the better option is to find some proper macintosh software.

Okay. Hang about on this list. When I feel like it, you'll see another 
version of LearnLojban posted. The current version is 
http://www.gulik.co.nz/LearnLojban_0.0.2.zip, specifically for PDAs, but 
if you're keen, it's possible to get that running on the mac.

PDAs are really cheap second-hand - check out your local online auction 
site.

mi'e maik.
