    Mac OS X is supported for the client software. You may be referring to miner binaries - and very few people mine on OS X. Mining with a laptop is not going to be very effective. Most AMD/NVIDIA cards capable of mining are operated under Linux/Windows.

    The majority of Macs sold are laptops with integrated Intel graphics so we didn't feel there would be a lot of a demand for mining on Mac OS X. It is certainly possible and easy enough for those interested to make their own binaries.
