If you want to run Windows games on Mac OS X, its easiest to use a wrapper made to run it. You can make these yourself, or use ones other people have made. The Forums over at Portingteam.com is all about doing this, and I know there are some GTA4 wrappers over there so you can get an unofficial Mac port... no Windows needed.

most of the time when you try to do a work around for an os x client the gameplay is poor.

with that i don't need to install windows? I just have to run that program and insert cd with windows app?

Yes but Crossover doesn't work with GTAIV. If you don't want to install windows your best bet is to do what doh123 suggested and find a wrapper.
