Why not have a discussion with your manager or your IT folks, as they 
have not kept your software current for whatever reason, and they 
haven't provided a tool that you're looking for.

If your OS X system is locked down, then you'll need administrative 
access to install Xcode.  If you have that access, ask to borrow a 
distro from IT.

That you're still running 10.6 is a comparatively inauspicious start.   
While there are cases where that's appropriate to have boxes still 
running 10.6 around, your IT folks (and you) will want to have a plan 
for getting to 10.7 or 10.8, or migrating off of the OS X platform, or 
whatever is locally appropriate.
