FreeTDS (www.freetds.org) is an open source implementation of the Tabular Data Stream protocol used by Sybase and MSSQL. You can use freetds and DBD::sybase to connect to MSSQL. I have used it without problems on a number of linux machines with the DBD::sybase module but have never tried it on OS X, however, a google search for freetds and mac os x turns up some people who seem to have it working.

It is a bit of a pain to set up - the configuration is a little strange, but the freetds docs are somewhat helpful and you can feel free to ask me questions if you run in to problems.

HTH,
Ian
