I sometimes use Genymotion on my PC, if I need an Android environment running on my PC. They've apparently got a Mac download as well.
Their installation guide for Windows PCs worked well, so head to
https://www.genymotion.com/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter#!/download , click on the Mac link, download the file (you'll need to create an account with them first, they don't seem to have spammed me at all), and follow your nose. There is a YT video covering this topic -
- but it is from a year ago, so you may find version numbers or filenames are slightly different now.
Once you've got that up and running, you'll need to sideload the APKs for the apps you want to run. Head to ES File Explorer on your DroidBOX (from the list of all installed apps), and click on the Device / link found in the Local menu. Now head to /System/Preinstall . Copy the APKs from here that interest you to a USB device, or if they're small enough, you could e-mail them to yourself.
In Genymotion, open the APKs, and you'll be ready.
Ah, just re-read your post. If you've already got an Android OS running on your Mac, skip the Genymotion part above, and just copy the APK files I mentioned from /system/preinstall , using ES File Explorer or File Manager HD.
Don't forget you can also install XBMC natively on your Mac -
