Mac Mini is the lowest and cheapest Hardware: http://www.apple.com/mac-mini/
You can as well install an OSx86 distro, but the chances it'll work with your Hardware, are minimal.
Also, I thought the last OS X Version you can have from OSx86, is 10.6, so 2 major Versions older than the current 10.8, and might be, that your 10.6 compiled App won't run on 10.8.
That's why I'd rather recommend you to get a Mac Mini for this, than installing OSx86 on a non-Apple Computer.

If Loopy made up the Code for Mac, I could test it, so he wouldn't need to pay for it.
But sadly, Mac Development can't be fully done without OS X, as Xcode makes up the nicest and quickest interface.
Of course something could be done in Qt, for example, so Loopy could handle only 1 Source Code for all platforms (except the ARM ones).

So is the Mac version now in the works? I seriously cannot wait any longer to LP HG/SS and so can't my viewers. I haven't played my 3DS in a while so I feel like it could have been installed already. The money isn't a problem for me. I just want to know if I should order it now and use my Windows portion or wait for more news? Also will I have to get a audio adapter to record audio since there is no line-in in my MacBook Pro. I would have to put it in the headphone port and then put the line-in cable (from 3DS) into the slot of the audio adapter for line-in?

Not yet. I bought a Mac Mini to look into it, but until it's here and I've had some time to work on it, I'm not going to promise anything. If you know you're going to get a board, I don't see any reason to wait. There won't be any changes to the hardware. If I do get Mac support working, it will work with the existing board.

Again, a 13" MacBook Pro does have a Line-In Port, it's combined with Line-Out.
Windows can't read it, but OS X can.
15" and 17" MacBook Pro's, however, have these Ports separated.

So you're saying that I can record the audio if I connect the cable from the 3DS to the port? Or will Windows read it as Line-out

You can record Audio using it, but only on OS X and Linux.
Windows will see it as a Line-Out Port, which doesn't support Line-In.
It's all because of the Drivers.

So basically my only choices are to wait or a Mac version or to use a audio adapter like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004SP0WA ... -1&pi=SL75
Would that work?
