We actually do support Docker on OSX and Windows :) It just requires a small gateway VM called boot2docker (25MB on disk). It's perfect for development of Linux application on an OSX machine. Typing "docker build" and "docker run" straight from the Mac terminal is pretty magical, you definitely forget there is a VM involved.

Does volume mounting work with boot2docker yet? That's been the main obstacle I've encountered with it on OS X.
The boot2docker devs had made it clear they're not going to add any vbox-specific bits to b2d, but I've been successfully using the ISO linked from this article (which I expect will get updated to 1.1 shortly, or if not there's instructions to build your own):
