Your doing something with an OS that it is not specifically intended to do. Apple will not give you any support, but there are communities online devoted to getting OSX on PC. The only illegal thing would be if you get any copywrited files (read: iTunesMobileDevice.dll) via the web. But even so, no one cares that you are doing this (legally speaking). I bet apple would care even less if you purchased an actual copy of the OS.

Just my $0.02
This is true, if you Purchase a copy of the OS then install a OSX86 Custom OS then there is no way they can sue you, reason is that even though you dont have a mac hardware machine you still want to use OS X, so you can say you went and purchased it and realized that it didnt work and you just installed another copy from somewhere else this is of course as long as you dont give your purchase copy away and you just keep it for no reason really... just as long as apple gets there money for something i dont think it would really matter
