Do not expect any success with getting OSX/MacOS working until a recent version of QEMU is in place for HVM (the only version of QEMU that works in a stub domain right now is very old and many, many changes and improvements have been made to QEMU since then that make it a lot easier to run guest OSes. Getting that to work is a substantial development effort. Headway is being made on it, but I don't know if you can count on it being a Qubes 4.0 feature - I suspect it is not a blocker that would justify delaying that release. Then, even after QEMU is in place, there will likely be a few additional challenges, but I there are enough examples of OSX/MacOS being run under QEMU+KVM to get past that. Finally, running OSX/MacOS as a guest OS never really has been much of a priority in the Xen community, so it may never end up running "out of the box."
