Pwnage Tool - Can I Run it on Mac, Restore it on Windows?

Can I build my 2.2.1 with bb 02.28.00 on the Mac but restore it on Windows?

Do I need to hack my iTunes?

I'm wanting to get upto 2.2.1 without upgrading my BB.

Also I have a PAYG iPhone, when Pwnage Tool asks if I have an "iphone I would normally activate via iTunes" I presume I say yes?

Why do you want to build it on a Mac but restore in Windows?

You can't run pwnage tool on a PC... I need pwnage tool to keep 02.28.00

I might just flash it on the mac later.

In answer to the original question then yes you can build your custom ipsw on a mac and then copy it to a pc to restore but your iphone needs to have been pwned already.
