Well this is all what LSB is about.

No. The LSB would be one of the many possibly supported platforms.

I have some customers who are doing what you propose on MacOSX.
They purchased parallels emulator and run the windows version
on there Macs.

That was not what I proposed. If I want to run a certain software on
some OS with some Linux-kernel, I can install any version of any (open
source) library the software may need on this system and if this isn't
enough, I could even change it as required, if I think that it would
be worth the effort. Eg my employer runs binary-only Checkpoint
software on CentOS with a small kernel modification to make it work.
