Are there any good services that you can use during development to try out how your site renders in different browsers? We develop on macs. I'd like to be able to pay $20 a month or something like that and be able to VNC in and test my site in IE6, IE7, Opera, etc without having to keep a windows box around.

BrowserShots. It's free, and you can test your site on pretty much any browser imaginable.

BrowserShots is good, but just be warned that it's not good for rapid development, as the job queue can take a while to get through.

You can pay money to jump to the front of the queue.

http://browsershots.org/ is a free service

http://litmusapp.com/ has a free service and also some paid services

If you need remote access rather than just screenshots, http://www.browsercam.com does that.

You could use VMware and install your own Windows guest OS and configure them exactly how you like. Avoid the middleman.

Browsershots as others have suggested would work, but Windows in a Virtual Machine may be a better option if you need to test functionality.
