I'm afraid not.  I do a lot of Propeller programming and have a copy of Windows XP that I run on my MacBook under VMWare.  Parallels Desktop also works.  I imagine Boot Camp would also allow you to use XP, but I move back and forth between the two systems all the time and use TextWrangler as my main editor under MacOS 10.5.

The Propeller IDE requires Windows 2000 or XP at a minimum, but I think the Stamp and SX software only requires Windows 98SE.  If you have a PowerPC based Mac, use GuestPC or VirtualPC.  They're much slower than using an Intel Mac, but do work adequately for Stamp or SX stuff.  I'd use Windows 98SE with these emulators since they have lower overhead than XP.  I wouldn't even consider Vista unless you can get it for free from work or some such thing.
