It needs to be a Mac. There are people that have half-assed it onto hackintoshes, but when they do, it's usually pretty broken, and a lot of features don't work - in some cases the simulator itself.
The SDK is very integrated into OSX, so trying to make it run on an emulator, or broken copy of OSX on non-supported hardware just isn't going to happen with full functionality.
If your organization wants to use the SDK, they'll need Macs for the developers.
