I think there's _some_ way to do it, e.g. from the FAQ:

"Q. Can I configure DSS to stream live .mp4, .3gp, or .mov streams to 
simulate a radio or tv station to connected users?

Yes. Use the PlaylistBroadcaster that is part of DSS, to stream hinted 
files from a server side playlist to DSS. All video files must have the 
same frame size and use the same codec and all audio files must have 
the same sample size and use the same codec."

I think with an all-macintosh solution you'd use Quicktime Brodcaster to 
create the RTSP stream; but I've never actually done this so it's just 
what I'm reading.  I'll have an opportunity to use someting like this in 
May for a nonprofit centennial so I'll pay attention here.
