Such a thing does not yet exist. Currently, there are several ways to 
run Mac OS X programs on Windows:
   - port them to Windows
   - run Mac OS X Intel in VMWare (patches are available to enable this)
   - run Mac OS X PowerPC in PearPC
These options are roughly in order of the speed you will get, best to worst.

If you have Mac OS X Intel version running in VMWare, Apple's Rosetta 
emulator will allow PPC programs to run.

The SoftPear project aims to do something similar to what you are 
talking about, but they are in a very early stage of development, and do 
not have anything that runs on Windows yet.
