Chris,
I have not been paying attention for a few months, but I am pretty sure that
L3P has not been ported. I have emailed the developer quite a bit asking
him to do this (or let someone else). He said it is in the queue. However,
that was awhile ago. If more people emailed him about it besides me, that
may give him more of a reason to port or allow it to be ported.
For myself, I have a hard time playing with non-raytraced virtual legos. So
I haven't actually made any models for about 6 years, but spend my time
bugging developers.
Anyway, I have messed a bit with L3P and Virtual PC. I wrote an applescript
that "types" the commands into the MS-DOS prompt for multiple dat files.
AppleScript is fairly easy if you don't know it. I would check it out:

Enjoy.
