Hi Steve, I am posting a couple links for you to check out. I would read through these and they will provide you with some prospective on ArcGIS installation for Mac OS. They are not for version 10 however the installation process has not changed much between the last few versions.
http://www.uic.edu/cuppa/udv/GIS/ArcGISonMac200911.pdf http://www.umass.edu/tei/ogia/materials/tutorials/Mac_install_tutorial.pdf Additionally, you should not need to install two different Microsoft Virtual Machines in order to effectively run Arc on a Mac, you should be fine with Parallel, Boot Camp or VM Ware. Best of luck, cheers!
