You could always try Q: http://www.kju-app.org/. I find it unbearably  
slow but it is free. I thought VirtualBox was allergic to Plan 9 but I  
might try again now that I know what the problem is and how to work  
around it.

The Parallels site is here: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/  
but they want $80 (or $50, if you're merely upgrading). I hate to  
recommend it because of their indifference (sometimes bordering on  
hate) towards their customers but it does seem to be the fastest Mac  
Plan 9 emulator I've had success with so far. As I said before,  
Windows is about their only interest, if that's is something you need  
on your Mac.
