Yes, it's called mach-o, it's got four interesting flavors (x86, x86-64 for 
Leopard, PPC-32, and arm for the iPhone), and it's been on my to-do list 
since the middle off last year.  This should get you started:

I never could get darwin booted under qemu (keyboard controller didn't work) 
but now that qemu can run actual MacosX I need to give it another try.  (This 
is assuming I don't break down and get an iPhone. :)
