Jake, We do have an open feature request for SoH support in MAC supplicant. However, I don't know how long we will have to wait for having such feature. I know there is a supplicant that provide SoH for MAC OSX, but I did not have the chance to test it yet.
To answer a bit on the Nessus/OpenVAS, both scanning engines are using (almost) the same plugins. OpenVAS however will behave differently for the scans, also the reporting is different. Nessus requires a Pro Feed, while OpenVAS is entirely free. OpenVAS is a bit more complicated to install. Maybe others can input more information.
