I believe it isn't supported by VirtualBox but as far as I'm aware VMWare Server can be modified to boot and run OSX. Then there's the issue of legality, as you have a Mac already then it may get round the licence requirement that OSX has to be run on Apple hardware, and technically since you have a Mac you also have a license to the software.
Have a look at http://www.osx86project.org From what I understand someone has managed to create a kind of bootloader which enables OSX to be install from a retail disc on an Intel based machine, I haven't really looked into it much but it might help.
