The joke being that Docker requires LXC and aufs, which means you are stuck running Ubuntu for now. Fedora is soon going to announce Docker support when 0.7 is released.

For now if you want to run docker on your Mac, the best bet is to use Vagrant + virtualbox (or fusion if you have the provider). This means you have to run another VM to run docker which defeats the purpose of the suggestion of running Docker, so you don't have to run another VM instance.

Yes.

But then, you can run a single VM with any number of Docker containers inside. Depending on what you are doing, that could be a win.

if you are running one docker per VM, you are probably doing something wrong :)
