If you go to the "resource page" link at the bottom of CCC,
then to the "Links" page, at the bottom you will find lots of links
for downloadable Macintosh chess software.
Another page is, as stated by someone else, the page at:
http://www.gambitsoft.com/mac.htm
The gambitsoft page above has a short paragraph on each item,
but fewer items than the CCC resource page.
I'll paste in the links:
Here's a list of 17 links for freely downloadable Macintosh
chess software (freeware/shareware/demoware).
Notes: Some of these are demos - wasn't sure whether you wanted/not
Some of these are FICS/ICC interfaces - ditto
