The only other option for running toolset on OS X would be to use WINE. I know very little about it, other than I've helped to set up a few players with the tech requirements. I'm afraid I don't know Mac software/hardware at all. WINE is a virtual emulator of sorts.
It sounds like Heatstroke has covered your other problems.
Sadly running toolset for OS X is like running toolset for Linux. A pretty dream.
