PostgreSQL runs fine on OS X. I recommend homebrew to manage the software installation, which lets you easily choose which version you want, pin certain versions and so on.
The only caveat that I know of is when you run pg on another platform, say Linux, in production, and use an OS X server as hot standby replication target. That works, but is not supported. There are issues like "=" selects producing empty result sets while "like" on the same values work. So, if using replication, stay within the same platform. Otherwise, no restrictions.
