Dear Tiffany, R works wonderfully with Macs (and *nix and Windows). The main program should be all you need, but if you have any doubts or concerns, here is the link to download R from the website for Mac OSes: http://cran.r-project.org/bin/macosx/
If you are just getting started using R, it is a good idea to read through the introduction to R manual: http://cran.r-project.org/manuals.html and you might also consider getting a book to help you a long the way. There is a large list of books related to R here: http://www.r-project.org/doc/bib/R-books.html I have personally found Peter Dalgaard's book a very nice book to start with: Peter Dalgaard. Introductory Statistics with R. Springer, 2nd edition, 2008. ISBN 978-0-387-79053-4.
