Writing a VM environment for x86/x86_64 is substantially more complicated than for PPC, since PPC (like many other arches) has its lowlevel ops implemented in a trappable fashion from the beginning. If you really want to virtualize OS X on an x86 Mac, you should take a look at VirtualBox, I think there's some support for it now.

I'm, actually, trying to do this using qemu; which is VirtualBox's underlying engine (AFAIK)... and with little luck...

It probably won't work (or at least not easily) with qemu, since qemu doesn't have an EFI ROM; you'd have to Hackintosh inside qemu, which I imagine would be a dreadful process. Newer versions of VirtualBox have an EFI ROM, and thus have at least some (real) support for virtualizing it natively, without all that screwing about.
