Please don't ask why (ok you can ask), but I would like to (and I use the words like to lightly), install SharePoint Portal Server 2003 on my Windows XP SP3 machine natively (network policy prevents virtual machines).

I am familiar with installing MOSS and SP2010 on Windows 7 and Windows Vista, but is this possible for 2003?

Sharepoint 2003 flat out refuses to install on a client operating system. It only works on Windows Server-based systems, and there is no known way to convince it otherwise. The typical work-around is to put Windows Server on a VM, but since that's not an option for you I think you're out of luck.

Actually, SP2010 is supported to run on Windows 7, and there is a nice tutorial that allows you to install WSS 3.0 (and MOSS) on Windows Vista and 7. (msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee554869.aspx), (community.bamboosolutions.com/blogs/bambooteamblog/archive/2008/…) – Russell Aug 25 '10 at 2:36
