It isn't Linux-centric as much as it is GNU-toolchain-centric. I could easily use Apple's toolchain if grub supported booting macho binaries (hint, it does, but its a hack). I already managed to get a bootable kernel going last night by using a FreeBSD box here at work as a temporary build machine, and I'm happy with the results.
I found a great tutorial last night on building a custom cross-compiling toolchain so that I don't need to employ the use of a build box any longer. I think that's going to be my best option for doing the meat of the dev work on my mac.
Regards,
Daniel

Use Linux inside of VirtualBox on your Mac -- then you can "use your Mac" to complete your courseware, and not spend a dime. If you've got VMWare or Parallels on your Mac, then that's your ticket. Use the GNU/Linux GCC toolchain on the (virtual) Linux machine to do your coursework.
When you get a spare moment, read Amit Singh's *awesome* "Macintosh OS X Internals" book -- http://osxbook.com/

Sincere apologies if I totally missed the point of your question.
