I can tell you what tools I use with my OS/X machines while working on
PIC related projects.

software:
---------
- assembler - gputils - http://gputils.sourceforge.net/
- programmer - picp - http://www.cosmodog.com/pic/

hardware:
---------
- Keyspan serial to USB adapter (USA-19QW)
- Microchip picstart plus programmer 

Nothing fancy, but it works. I am quite happy with the setup. I've even
begun using PCB for board layout work, and have been porting gschem for
schematic usage. These both make some usage of other fink packages that
I've installed.
