Hi, New member with a noobish question.
Do you see any problem with having Win7 64bit running OSX in VirualBox?
Did anyone try to use iPhone SDK that way?

At this point in time running MAC in VirtualBox is not supported due to licensing restrictions.

I have also never understood that, are those licensing restrictions explained with more detail anywhere? And if this is only a problem of licensing, will i be able to run MAC OS without officiall support?

That of course is your decision. We can not however condone nor support it until such time as Sun determines that the license will allow it.
