Just to add more depth to my previous answer, why is R/RStudio an excellent choice to perform statistics on the Mac (and also on Linux and Windows, for what matters)?
The pros:

- Excellent support: several websites post introductory and advanced articles and tutorials about R and its packages (http://www.statmethods.net/, http://www.r-bloggers.com/, http://learnr.wordpress.com/, to name a few) and you can also find several interesting papers on R-Journal (http://journal.r-project.org/index.html), an online magazine devoted to R;
- Easily programmable: if you have some basic programming skills you can easily write scripts to automate your statistical analyses.
Cons:
- Steep learning curve, but RStudio eases things considerably. And that is science, after all.
