There are three Mac Databases that I know.

1. Exachess has been ported to MacOSX.  It has a light demo version (250
games/database).
  This is a carbon from of the OS 9 engine that runs very well.

2. SCID runs very nicely under X11 (XWindows)
  Install XWindows from apple (look under the OS X tab and run a search for the
link)
  SCID is available form FINK or SourceForge

3. JOSE is a cross platform chess data base that runs in Java also available for
OS X from SourceForge
  It has a few quirks.

SoruceForge is http://www.sourceforge.org  I tink then search for scid and jose.
Exachess is http://www.exachess.com
