I am a Mac lover and I would love to see emc2 running on a Mac. That said however, I suspect that little endian-big endian problems might raise there heads in ugly ways inside emc2. Also you didn't tell which model Mac. Does it have pci slots so that you can add a parallel port to it? The issue of getting RTAI running on a ppc kernel is not insignificant either. I used to have an G4 mac but I still bought a straight pc box to run linux/emc2. I decided I would rather spend my time learning gcode than ppc assembly code. I now have an Intel Mac but still use a cheap pc box for my EMC2/linux.
