Connecting to your device
USB
You can telnet, SSH, SMB or do whatever you want if you install software that enables you to set up TCP/IP network over your USB connection. The only driver I know is http://www.dsitri.de/wiki.php?page=AJZaurusUSB Download it and install according to manual foung inside of the package.
You should have new ethernet interface in your System Prefereces. Set up network manually for that interface and then set up your network manualy on the Neo1973. You should be able to connect to your Neo!

Using virtualization software
You can use Paralels or VMWare to install your favourite Linux distribution and then develop just as on Linux.
There are some drawback since AFAIK dfu-util may not work correctly in such environments.
Natively
There are some efforts to get through process of compiling OE and OpenMoko under mac: OpenMoko_under_QEMU_on_MacOSX
