it does work on Mac OS X as well, with this wrapper [1]

I wouldn't really encourage spice_html5 for a real work yet, it's indeed 
experimental with quite a few glitches (though if it works for you it does 
perform really well)

worth a note is that Frantisek Kobzik is working on a support for both displays 
at the same time in 3.4, effectively allowing you to use SPICE console most of 
the times for performance, but when you're somewhere else you can still open a 
noVNC from almost any browser (or use native vnc client on any possible 
platform one can have)

Thanks,
