For the Mac, besides HIARCS and Crafty,
you can analyze .epd files with a little bit of batch text editing on:
Sigma Chess Lite (http://users.cybercity.dk/~bst10651/)
MacChess         (http://members.aol.com/macchess)

With Sigma Chess, the issue is that you really have to make the
epd files into pgn files that use the FEN tag. However, a Unix script
to convert a .epd file to a .pgn file is easy enough. Likewise, the
output is an annotated .pgn file, but again a script can convert that
back into an annotate .epd file.

MacChess processes .EPD files directly, but you might want to use a script
to thin down the output - the output given is fairly voluminous.
For example - a 5 second analysis on this file:
