A quick glance around the Apple store shows that for the laptops or desktops, you're pretty much screwed and have to buy OSX.

I've have thought that at least for the XServe servers, you'd have the option of an operating system, as pretty much all hardware vendors (Dell, HP, etc.) give you the option of which operating system you want when you're ordering beefy hardware (i.e.: Windows Server 2003, Redhat Enterprise Linux, None), but you're still locked into purchasing a license for OSX on their server hardware.
