IIRC (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong anyone) it is against the license agreement of OS4 to run it on anything except licensed (ie. AmigaOne, MicroA1) boards, and the OS is designed not to run on anything else - although it might be coaxed into doing so, either with BIOS reflashes or cracking the OS itself, both of which probably violate the license agreement as well.
;-) I agree that running AmigaOS on Mac hardware would be cool. I have a G3 Powerbook and I can think of no OS I'd rather run on it. However, you're correct that AmigaOS4.x will not run without specific code being included on the hardware. At least, that's the way I remember it.
As well as the piracy issue, the main concern seems to be quality control; to support a small number of parts well instead of a large number of parts poorly, as Microsoft does.
