    Dunno - you need to have a *nix box capable of providing certain things...
WRONG. You don't need *nix. You only need some of the services you
mention, but not *nix.
You can deploy a complete PXES solution in a 100% Microsoft environment,
so I can see no reason why it couldn't be possible in MAC OS X.
    
    Namely
    	- dhcp server, to allocate the clients an IP
    	- tftpd server, to hand out the kernel and initial ram disk
    	- Some method for logging in, like a xdm server or a terminal
    server.
    
    BSD has all of that - I'd be astonished if osX can't do it.
