Clients running Rhythmbox, Amarok2 (Amarok from kde3 had issues with mt-daapd), or Songbird with a plugin have no trouble playing the files on my lan/wlan. I had the occasional Mac clients (ITunes) and they were able to use the mt-daapd share too, even Winamp on Windows. I read a while ago that it's possible to run the server on Mac OSX through Fink or Macport, but since I have no interest in it I didn't investigate any further, your favourite search engine should tell you more (maybe there's a native Mac version now).
