Personally, I think it would be fine if the box were to say something like "This software is intended to be used on genuine Apple hardware and will not work properly on other systems" in big bold letters. They can do as much as they want to their software to ensure that it doesn't run on other hardware, that's their right.
BUT I don't think it's OK for a company to sell an Operating System to the open public, to anyone willing to pay them for it, but then stipulate that you can only use it on hardware produced by them. That doesn't even make sense. If it's only for their hardware then it should only come with their hardware.
No other company does this, is allowed to do this, at least as far as I know. I can't go to the store and buy the OS from my PS3, or my DVR, or my PSP, etc.
