If it is open-source work, get yourself an account on sourceforge -
they have a compile-farm for this sort of purpose, and they have one (or 
two?), I have used the Mac OS X machine there.  This way, at least
you can test your work natively on Mac OS X. A bit easier to do than
cross-compiling.

Good luck.
