If there's sufficient demand this summer I might be persuaded to build a 64-bit 2.6.21 bundle, but I'd really prefer people to move to GnuCash 3 if for no other reason than that Gtk2 isn't getting much attention as Apple changes APIs. 

It used to be against Apple's license to run MacOS X in a VM, but they removed that restriction in 10.7. VMWare Fusion and Parallels both work quite well. I have a large collection of MacOS VMs and build the GnuCash MacOS bundles on a 10.9 VM to ensure that it will work for users who haven't been updating their OS.
