Who in God's name uses IE for Mac these days? Can't be more than 5-10% of
the Mac community, or 0.2% of the web as a whole. Most popular browsers on
the Mac now are Safari, Camino and Firefox.

Safari is based on Konqueror, so if you don't have a Mac, then testing in
Konqueror is a reasonably good substitute. Form controls will look
different, as will fonts, but most everything else should be similar.

Camino and Firefox are both Gecko-based, so you should see a rendering
fairly consistent with Windows- and Linux-based Gecko browsers. (Firefox,
Epiphany, etc.)
