 OS-X binaries are designed for Intel architecture chips (I don't recall
the last version that ran on Motorola or PowerPC chips).

 Such binaries will not run on an ARM -- completely different
instruction set and peripherals. To produce a version of OS-X for an ARM
will require obtaining the complete source code (if in a high-level
language -- for Apple that might be Objective-C; and some modules are
likely in Intel assembler), setting up a cross-compiler environment (I'm
presuming one wouldn't want to spend the days trying to compile on the
R-Pi) and rewriting any assembler modules.

 Why should we do the search? If you know there is such a video, why
didn't you include a link to it?

 Are you sure what you saw wasn't someone running a virtual environment
on an R-Pi that included emulation/simulation of an Intel processor? Many
virtual environments still require the binaries to be in the native
architecture...

 QEMU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QEMU  https://www.qemu.org/
supposedly emulates processors. If a prebuilt binary is not available in
the R-Pi package manager, you'll likely have to download the source and
build QEMU on the R-Pi (or on a cross-compilation environment set up
elsewhere).
