Running Quartus on an Apple Mac

Sorry for reviving this thread (after >2 months of sleeping). By the way, I'm really interested how ston, sconsul, and kutenai can get Quartus to work on a Mac.

I am a fan of Solaris (sorry no offence to the Mac fans out there, this is just my preference), but it really helps all the other Unix fans (me included) if some of you can explain the steps in getting Quartus to work on other non-officially-supported Unix platforms. Actually, Altera no longer supports official POSIX-based Unixes listed by opengroup.org (this includes Mac, Solaris).

I am not sure what is meant "parallels" - is it some form of virtualization, such as VMWare in Windows, VirtualBox, or Solaris Containers? It will be very interesting to find out how to install Quartus on other Unix platforms without any form of virtualization. Probably you guys know something. :)
