Actually, I re-read your question. You can drag-and-drop any non-DRM epub file into iTunes and sync up your iPad and the book will be in the iBooks application.
I had thought you asked if there was a way to test on a Mac without an iPad at all. No. There is no iBook application from Apple for the Mac (or the PC).

The iPad simulator does not have iBooks, so that won't work. My best guess if you don't want to own one is to wait until iBooks offers itself as an app that can open attachments, find out what email account the stores have set up on their iPad, and then mail your book to that address.
For now, I can think of no other options that don't involve buying one or finding a friend that has one and having him let you install readMe or Bookshelf.
