BF2 (but BF2142 was) wasn't natively supported on Macs as far as I know, but if you can get it working (google it), then PR is just some extra archives in an additional folder. It should work just fine after you've got BF2 working on patch 1.50.

Actually, please disregard what I said above. I had totally forgotten about PR.exe & TR.exe. If you run bootcamp on your mac (basically just windows), then it should work, but on OSX, I'm really not sure if the extra PR exes will work. Sorry for the initially misleading info :(

It might be possible but I think running it on a VM would probably create a big performance hit, and considering it's a laptop, I doubt it has the headroom to accommodate such a performance drain.

And if it is a school laptop, then (from my experience with school computers) it would have something to prevent him from installing stuff like that anyway..? Maybe America is different though :)

No, normally school computers have deepfreeze installed wich uninstall any programs you installed, so it goes back to it's "original" state when you power up the computer again.

You can try Wine, Vanilla BF2 can run under it , but AFAIK tere will be problem with TR.exe.
