BlitzMax is mult-platform, but it's not cross-platform.
If you want to create Universal Binaries, you'd actually need -two- Macs: An older PowerPC model and an Intel Mac, because you need to compile for each architecture respectively.
You only need the Apple developers tools (XCode & Co.) and BlitzMax on the machine, that's it. XCode is on the OS X installation DVD, so you don't have to download it (unless you want or need to use the most recent version).
If you want to use the SVN versions of BlitzMax, look for "SCPlugin" for the Mac; it's for the Mac what TortoiseSVN is for Windows.
As the Klingons say: Qapla'!
