Chances are that it is a self-extracting .zip archive, I don't know if Stuffit or one of the Mac zip utilities would be able to open it, the best option would be to get a friend with a PC to open it and then if needed to re-compress it with Stuffit for windows (or WinZip as the Mac can cope with .zip files OK).
