IANAL, but if you do decide to go down this route keep in mind that
from a license perspective chroot is the same as virtualization,
which is not allowed for non-server versions of OS X [1]. If you
violate this condition of the license, your license to use that copy
of OS X is automatically terminated, and you must destroy your
copies of the software.
chroot() does not instantiate multiple copies of the OS. It is in no
sense like virtualization, and has no license implications.
As I said, I'm not a lawyer; I'm simply going on Apple's own
interpretation of the license agreement as forbidding VMware to
virtualize client versions of OS X.
Which has nothing to do with (or in common with) using chroot() to
run, for example, multiple copies of Apache with different config files.
