Sage runs just fine in OS X.

 OS was more similar to Linux than Windows is and comes loaded with
 python. Does this mean that Sage can run all of its features in
 Leopard without virtualization, or are their some limitations?
 Thanks in advance for putting up with a newbie

Sage should work perfectly on a Mac running Leopard. There are many Sage
developers and users who run Sage on Intel Macs.

You'll need to install XCode if you want to compile Sage from source, or
you can just use one of the pre-built binaries for OS X 10.5.

In fact, many sage developers use OS X as their primary system.
