Simon Willison points out that Testing in Safari without a Mac is possible. I like his suggestion about using Knoppix (a live Linux distro on CD) as it contains the newest version of Konqueror which uses the same KHTML rendering engine that Safari uses.
As Simon says, it’s not perfect, but it’s close. You should go check it out. I have pointed Digital Media Minute readers to a lot tools to facilitate testing of websites on different browsers/browser versions because as mundane as the task can be, it is still absolutely necessary. At least if we have the tools to test, one barrier to doing so easily is removed.

PearPC is great, but it does “require” that you have a “paid” license for OSX. Knoppix is free and requires no configuation so may be a better choice.
