In the above link there is a guide that I'm about to try with an older OSX.
How to make a bootable OS X 10.9 Mavericks USB install drive on LINUX.

It describes step by step how you can make a Mavericks USB installer on Linux without any running OS X and that requires:

  • empty USB stick of minimum size 8GB
  • copy of Mavericks
  • working Linux (virtualized is also OK) with following installed packages: hfsplus, hfsprogs, gparted, p7zip
  • at least 15GB free space on your system
  • and time :)
