I was under the impression that you have access at least to a virtual machine running 10.6 or 10.7

well, since OS X is the only platform for which ready to use binary packages are officially provided by 
gimp.org, IMO there should be packages for every OS X version Apple supports. As of today that wold mean 10.7+

At least I will build packages for 10.7+ (but as you might know, with a lot of plugins and some small patches 
;-) )
