The options are:
Have fun ;-)
- Pluthon
- Python
- VMware
- Develop on tablet directly
- Roll your own cross-compiling toolchain using existing open source bits.
Have fun ;-)

Do a user search for TokyoDan. I've got some posts about how I'm trying to develop for Maemo on mac, using Eclipse, Python, Pluthon. Also see http://pluthon.garage.maemo.org for info about all of this.

Probably if you can get QEMU tablet emulation working, you can compile in it too...

I didn't know about PluThon. I'm checking it out now. Thanks!

Well I'm still in the early stages, I finally got Eclipse/Pluthon sorted out ojn the Mac and got PC Connectivity working between the Mac and N810 via USB (I hear this can be done via wireless too). My next step is to see if SSH sessions work. Some advice...
Don't install ESBox plugin for Eclipse - It replicates sandbox but it doesn't work in Eclipse on the Mac.
Don't install any USB host-Peripheal-OTG switching applets as the PC Connectivity package will give you everything you need.
Just follow INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Target Environment (Tablet) at http://pluthon.garage.maemo.org (Click on the insallation tab at the top of the page). That's all I installed on my N810 after a clean reflash and everything works fine so far.
If you want python on your N810 install pygtkeditor which is a good Python source code editor and installs Python 2.5.1. I don't think you need this but it's fun to write and try short Maemo Python programs.

Also for great info and quick help get an IRC Client (I'm using Linkinus which costs about 20USD after two weeks) and join the #mauku and #eclipse channels on chat.freenode.net.

Virtual Box from Sun: http://www.virtualbox.org/
You then need to convert the maemo VMware image to Virtual Box-compatible format:

There's probably some configuration to do inside the virtual machine after that.
