Since small number of copies are permissible for educational purposes, is it
possible to distribute the MACMINIX version IF the recipient ALREADY has purchased
a PC version?

That is, even if P-H doesn't want to incur the cost, someone else should be able to
provide the modified, educational, MAC version.

I don't think this is infringing on their copyrights.

At worst, one could envision distributing "patch" (yechhh) files.

Just a thought.
