Mac OSX on an OQO handheld PC?

Can you put Macintosh OSX on an OQO handheld PC since Macs are now Intel
processors?

Maybe. If you're willing to be the one who sits down and does all the
work to figure out how, that is.

You can't, because:

1) The only way you can get an Intel version of OS X is to buy a new Mac
2) You'd have to remove OS X from the Mac to legally install it on
another system, leaving you with an expensive doorstop
3) Even if you managed to do 1 and 2, you're still screwed because the
software licence only allows OS X to be installed on Apple hardware.
