I do to.. As do many other people involved with FRC. The cold hard fact, however, is that there are no native linux/unix compilers that will work with our RCs..
While you can edit the actual code files in any old text editor, your mac will never be able to natively compile code (unless FIRST allows it).
My team has been using the WINE+makefile workaround for quite some time now, and I will say that it works fine. Its tricky to set up, but once its set up, it is pretty seamless.. (This can be implemented on a mac using Darwine)
I would suggest, however, that you use your mac to edit the text code (use textwrangler, or even textedit) and then just transfer the files to a windows machine to compile.
p.s. Or you could just install xp (or tinyxp) under parallels/vmware. I know it takes up a lot of space (though tinyxp weighs in at under 1gb when fully operational) but parallels and vmware will compile and load code just fine.
