This from Apple's Devsite FAQ (http://developer.apple.com/java/faq/#api_1):

"Q: When will Java3D or Java Advanced Imaging be available on Mac OS X?
A: Apple would like to have Java3D and JAI on Mac OS X. We're working with
Sun to try to bring both over to our platform. There are currently no
announced plans.

A very viable alternative to Java3D on Mac OS X is jogl. Whereas Java3D is
its own environment/API, jogl provides direct native bindings to the OpenGL
API, allowing it to easily provide access to new OpenGL functionality, such
as nVidia's vertex programming API. A version of jogl designed to work with
Java 1.4.1 on Mac OS X can be found at http://jogl.dev.java.net/.

In the case of JAI, which is a pure-Java API, many developers have
successfully downloaded the Unix or Linux versions from java.sun.com and
simply used the jar files without the accompanying native "performance
packs"."

It's probably dated, but hey, better than nothing!
