You really mean Intel *mac* and not intel PC?  I didn't know that Intel made
macs.


Intel doesn't make PCs either. They make processors. Macs and PCs use
the same line of intel processors. Macs used to use Motorola or IBM
PPC processors, but no current models do.

So...  The cheapest way to hit the non-Windows platforms would be to get an
Intel mac with a mac OS, and use either virtualization or a Fedora Core
partition for linux?


That is correct. An intel mac would also let you use Windows in
virtualization (or on another partition). One machine gets you
everything (32-bit). If it has a Core 2 Duo processor you can also do
the x86-64 builds.
