There are some issues with this: 1) I would still need to run Linux on the Mac and run OSX VMs. This sounds like lot of trouble. 2) I can't rack-mount a mac mini (nor any other piece of Apple hardware that I know of). The problem with running builds on the "straight" OS/hardware is that they are non-reproducible, and in addition to that, the system would need substantial manual maintenance (like it was in the case of buildbot). All in all, it seems more likely to build Darwin images and use those to run the builds. But darwinbuild only runs on OSX, so I would need a reliable source of bootable Darwin-based ISOs or somesuch. Didn't find much in this respect so far.
