I am currently working on one myself. I just purchased the S500XVN this week. I had a build about 90% perfect with a SuperMicro X7DVL-E going with OSX 10.8.2 but it didn't support any sort of sleep states in the BIOS, so if I put it to sleep the system would not sleep, but OSX wouldn't kernel panic which is why I got the S5000 instead (it supports sleep states). The other reason was that I didn't want on-board graphics because on most server boards the graphics are pretty incompatible with with OSX. I'm waiting for a P4 extension cable but once it's going, i'll post the status.
