the TeX Live CD (http://www.tug.org/texlive/) 
comes with binaries etc for Mac OSX. the current (beta)
teTeX should also compile out of the box under Mac OSX.

Hrm,.. I'm thinking of buying a MacOSX box. Am I wrong in my understanding
that a \approx vanilla teTeX would compile and work? Interesting to know
whether or not I'd be able to follow bleeding edge with ease.
