I'm trying to install Snow Leopard Server in a Virtual Machine in my Retina MacBook Pro, but I was unable to do it since I don't have a DVD drive in my MacBook.
I've done an DMG file from the original Snow Leopard Server DVD but, it has no effect, since Parallels cannot install Snow Leopard Server from a .dmg file.
Any ideas?
PS: I just want to use Rosetta.
I'm not sure if this will work in your case. But I have a 2010 MacBook Pro I cannot install the retail copy of Snow Leopard onto. That retail disc is 10.6.3, and the laptop needs a higher version.
To overcome this, I installed Snow Leopard on an external drive connected to an older Mac. I then updated Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and copied the contents of that drive back to my MacBook Pro via SuperDuper.
Now, in your case, I'm not sure if Snow Leopard will work at all on the recent MacBook Pro. But, if you have access to an older Mac, give my solution a try.
Latest version of Xcode that works for Snow Leopard is Xcode 4.2 and iOS 5 for Snow Leopard. It's only 1.64 GB. To access it, log in to http://developer.apple.com/ios, look for "Other Xcode" button, click it and you should see the following

UPDATE: I totally read everything wrong. My mistake.
You should be able to install Snow Leopard Server by converting your DMG to ISO. See this OS X Daily article for full details:
Convert DMG to CDR or ISO with Disk Utility
If you'd rather create the ISO directly from the original disk, that's possible too.
