Yeah. Run VMware Fusion and install 10.6.8 and an earlier version of Xcode in the VM.
Works like a charm.
Share a folder on main hard drive that is not on the VM. Call this your 10.6.8 Dev folder. Log on to it from the VM, and save the project there, so that if the VM ever craters, all your material is safe.
I've been using this method for over a year.
If you run off an SSD, it's no problem.
I've got 16 GB of RAM on my 17" MBP and I give the VM 5 GB of RAM.
Please feel free to ask any questions on this approach.
Cheers,
- Alex
