You use an external SuperDrive to install Mac OS X 10.6. Every other Mac OS X update or upgrade you need is downloadable.

Keep in mind you can also use the optical drive of another computer to upgrade OS X. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2129 has information on how to do that. This works on a Windows PC as well as a Mac.
