Well, you could sign up to be an iPad developer ($99/yr) and get the development tools, then use the iPad simulator to run iBooks, test it in there. I think. I haven't tried this myself, my Mac development system is at home, and I'm not.

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).
