Unfortunately Smartdashboard is a component of Driver Station, a Windows only program. If you use Bootcamp (https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/) you can run Windows and thus Driver Station and Smartdashboard on your Mac. Boot Camp is significantly better than virtualization as it runs directly on the hardware, so no bottlenecks. That's what most of our programming guys with Macs do.

Oops, I didn't know that. I've kept my original post if you want to run Driver Station, but perhaps someone with more knowledge than me can tell you how to get it running on Mac.
