I would suggest you check out Mac forums that talk about the Bootcamp software for how compatible it is.

Since Macs are basicly PCs with a custom boot ROM, Im guessing that once you get Bootcamp going EQ should run fairly well.

You for sure would need both a Bootcamp and Windows license to legally run Windows on your Mac, but Im not the morality police.

For furture refence, someone has hacked the latest Mac OS to load on a normal PC and I assume notebooks, saving you about 50% off the equivalent Mac. You would of course have to buy a legal copy of Mac OS to be semi-legal.

Im sure Apple doesnt approve, but doubt they have a legal leg to stand on, but since Apple has a fulltime legal force, it costs them nothing to prevent companies from doing this for the general public, but certainly not worth chasing a single person down.

But I digress.

You could always try to run Windows XP in Parrallels. It is supposed to support DirectX games. It is pretty much mac's equivalent of vmware. Also I know the people that make cedega for linux also make a similar product for mac called cider. May wanna check that out. I have used cedega on Linux with some luck but Wine seems to be getting better all the time.

Cider link = http://www.transgaming.com/products/cider/

Parrallels = http://www.parallels.com/

Good luck!
