So run the Opteron headless & access it via VNC or Apple Remote Desktop.

Or run the (free) Windows Remote Desktop client for Mac to remote- 
control a terminal server session on the Opteron.

Or pull the trick where you control both desktops with one keyboard &  
mouse, *not* with a KVM switch, but by putting a 1 pixel, full height  
VNC session along the margin of one display, and whenever the mouse  
cursor hits it, jumps to the other one. I forget if it's that simple  
to set it up, but it's a clever trick for this kind of scenario.
