No/Yes/Depends ;-) There are several apps on the Mac which can  
integrate with OGo, eg:
- Finder.app (filemanager)
- Addressbook.app
- iCal.app

Finder can mount OGo projects using WebDAV (just like Windows). You  
should use a late OGo version for improved WebDAV support.

The way Addressbook.app connects datasources is using LDAP. You can  
export OGo contacts using OpenLDAP (eg this is builtin/preconfigured  
in Instance-OGo).

Well and iCal.app can subscribe events from OGo using iCalendar-over- 
HTTP. Which is an imperfect protocol. This will be fixed in MacOS  
10.5, where iCal will support CalDAV.

OGo doesn't support iSync though (there is no iSync connector). iSync  
is another approach for doing datatransfer with the PIM apps on MacOS  
(but requires a plugin).

Greets,
