Hello Dave --

That will depend largely on the modes you wish to use.  WSJT-X for the "JT
Modes" (FT8, FT4, etc) is fully portable and available on MacOS (
https://physics.princeton.edu/pulsar/K1JT/wsjtx.html).  This will get you
started on the current popular modes.  fldigi is another popular program, I
have used it on my Mac for RTTY during the BARTG Sprint, it isn't the
greatest for contesting but does work for casual contesting.  It can do
RTTY and PSK and a bunch of other digital modes that I have never tried (
http://www.w1hkj.com/).

The KX2 Utility also runs on MacOS (
https://elecraft.com/pages/kx2-fully-portable-transceiver-firmware-and-utility)
You can use this utility to receive and send RTTY if you wanted to.

These are some starting points, hope this helps!
