Not to my knowledge, no, as MacOS requires specific hardware that has Mac drivers. If your PC hasn't got it, tough luck.

Read the front page, it's not legal unless you own a Mac!
Quote:
Various hackers have released hacked ISO torrents that can be installed on PCs. However, this violates the Apple EULA agreement and there are legal issues with using the ISOs. The legal ways to obtain a copy would be:

1) Become an Apple Developer ($500 membership)

2) Buy a real mac, deactivate the copy of OS X and install it on a PC (this way would be pointless because the whole point is to run OS X without getting a mac). This way also somewhat violates the EULA because the agreement says that you can't run OS X on non-Apple hardware.

Its best to get a legal copy of the ISO because then you can install the software without worry about malicious software or about the software phoning home.

the point is that even the website owner says 'Its best to get a legal copy of the ISO because then you can install the software without worry about malicious software or about the software phoning home.'

i.e. We won't tell you where to get an ISO because getting an ISO without actually owning MacOS is illegal and you could get caught for it. We are also liable having told you where to find illegal material.

The fact that there's a project dedicated to it suggests that while it may well be possible, it's not going to be straightforward.
