Making a bootable MacOS 10.6.8 image from Ubuntu [View all]

So I have a bit of a fun little issue with my old Macbook 3.1. It looks like my dvd drive is toast, and I need to upgrade from MacOS 10.5.8 to (at least) 10.6.8.

I know that it is possible to make a bootable Ubuntu 14.04 USB stick from Mac OS X, but what I'm not 100% sure on is this: can I make a bootable Mac OS 10.6.8 USB stick from Ubuntu 14.04? If so, does anyone in the group know how to do it?
