I think it's more accurate to say that Apple doesn't go out of their  
way to make it easy.

You can download, compile, and install the open-source Darwin layer  
on just about any computer, and the rest of the system is thoroughly  
layered, so if you have an Intel install disk, you should be able to  
manually install the proprietary bits.

I'd be surprised if someone hasn't gotten it going on a garage-built  
PC. But of course, they can't distribute the licensed bits without  
hearing from the Apple legal team.
