I have a friend with a law office that runs all mac stuff. He has a mac mini server that handles all non-Asterisk stuff. All of his phones are SIP and I am seriously considering moving Asterisk over to the mini. It is quiet and very stable. Form-factor-wise it is a very tempting target for an Asterisk server. Of course, the only thing that worries me is that Asterisk is less-tested there. I would be excited to see OS X become a first-class citizen in the Asterisk community.
