Such memories may be delusional but I don't see why it wouldn't. You might have a bit of trouble running a server with the software stack due the port<1024 thing. I ran a cpu server in qemu under Linux after I patched Linux to allow user programs to use low ports, (Trivial patch,) or there is a simple iptables workaround. (There's an iptables script in mycroftiv's bundles.) There is a way of doing such port-mapping in OS X but I never got around to it so couldn't tell you how. It might even be a port of pf but you have to install some user-space tools which don't ship with the system.
