I’ve had decent luck with both Parallels and VMWare Fusion on Mac.

It is mildly annoying, especially the part where the NFS lock server
on Mac OS keeps stopping.  So every time I use svn (or git, for that
matter), I have to wait 10 seconds or so for the lock server to come
back.  (It always does; it’s just an annoying delay.)

In any case, I wrote up how I got this working; you might find some
useful hints in here:
