Greg,
A Mac version should be available soon. Most of the activitgy regarding
this is on the BrailleBlaster list (brailleblaster@xxxxxxxxxxxxx). The
Mac version will also be 64-bit. It will have some quirks, but these
will be fixed in time. Check http://www.brailleblaster.org in a few days
to see if the Mac version is there.
