osCommerce is PHP and MySql-based, which will run on any apache server. Mac OS X has a build in apache server, so you do not need Mac OS X Server to run it.
What you do need to do is:
1. Start running Apache server on your Mac
2. Ensure that Apache’s PHP module is enabled.
3. Install MySQL on that server
4. Install osCommerce on that server.
I suggest you refer to:

4. osCommerce package instructions…
It is perhaps not an easy ride if you have little experiences with these things, but it is possible.
