posterus has vray running on a macpro, as well as benchmarks for those intrested 
Wow, very promising!
once you have installed XP the mac is a simple dual boot computer. One OS does not effect or talk to the other.
this is true. bootcamp doesnt run in the background and chew up resources or anything like that. and in my setup, OSX and XP are on seperate hard drives. in fact you dont even have to pass though bootcamp if you dont want to. the macpro will boot into windows XP by default just as it normally would on any pc.
I will be testing some software next week called Parallels
This software will make it very easy to switch from XP to OSX…touch of a button. It does run in the background but the macpro is enough of a beast that I think it can handle it just fine.
if anyone wants me to run a specific test or 3D related benchmark let me know…i’ll have some time to test it.

I would not use parallels for 3dsmax… it doesn’t do any video card acceleration. So basic apps on Windows will work fine, but 3DSMax is out of the question.
