The short answer is NO. Using Apple's Boot Camp, you can install a full version of XP (only) on an Intel (only) Mac. You choose which OS to use at boot time.
To run Windows within OS X, use Parallels ($) and you may be able to get Media Center working, but it will definitely be a challenge to find all the required drivers.
Or, you could just use "Front Row" OS X's media center application. It's included on Intel Macs.

As far as I know, Media Center is PC only. But depending on your mac, some run windows software. You can do that via emulation (not recommended) or Bootcamp from Apple (but only works on some macs)
