No.
I think there is no chance to install Mac OS on a non-Mac Hardware except Mac OS 10.7+. Mac OS 10.7+ is runnable in Virtual Machines. But it is very slow and often crashes. So absolutely no environment to develop (although Xcode would run in the VM).
My tip: Buy a second-hand MacBook.

Practically it is possible to install OSX in a non-apple hardware, few tweaks are required. But yes, it is illegal. ;) – Aniruddh Aug 30 '12 at 12:44
