No, Apples Operating System (OS X) is based off of Linux (actually BSD Unix and the Mach Kernel). I do not believe there is a remotely easy way of doing this.

Beside Virtualization, which defeats the point I think.

Yeah, you’re right about that. There’s no good way to run Mac software on Windows, or any other platform for that matter.

No you can’t. Mac programs are a .dmg file, and a windows program is a .exe file. .exe does not work on mac, and .dmg does not work on windows.

You can run Windows apps on a Intel mac with CrossOver Mac.

No, there’s no way you’ll be able to run MS Office for Mac on Windows….
Sorry, but you’ll have to stick to the Mac for installing MS Office on it !!! xD
