You can also run XP SP2 on the Intel Macs using Fusion or Parallels.
Fusion gives XP direct access to USB ports on Intel Macs.

True, but would you really install a second OS only to sync your phone?

Take a look at Moto4lin. It is in very early stages of development but
does a decent job. I have used it with an early model V3 as well as a
few V551s. This app is actually being developed for Linux but since
Macs running OS X are Unix based, the source can be compiled and
executed. I had to download a precompiled binary as I am running
Leopard (10.5) which doesn't have certain old tools to get the job
done....yet.
