The popularity of Mac OS alludes me, and I've owned an Apple before... a nice $3000 one too and it still sucked. I can see that if you got fooled into it, or it's all you have and you need to try to do SEO on it, but anybody who CHOOSES a Mac for their work computer (especially who does SEO) needs their head examined.
That's what I think about Macs too in general, but let's not forget they're decent all purpose computers, and they're really nice for photo retouching, vectorial design, web design and anything music.
Since OP wants to work with the resources she already has, I believe the best options are (as some members already pointed out) to install a virtualization environment (ie. parallels) to run most windows based tools, and also if possible, or maybe later down the road, to get a windows VPS with decent specs and bandwidth and use it to run the tools.
I've been working on some simple SEO tools for things I need to get done fast and for which there's either no suitable tool, or it makes more sense to have them as standalone program. I'm doing this in my spare time, in order to learn about coding, but once I get to polish them enough, I'll share them here, FOC. So far I've tested them and they work fine both under Windows and Mac OS (Lion), so give me a month or two and I'll post them here.

link-assistant has a mac version. but it's better to install also a windows version.
Anyways...don't listen to the haters that can't afford a mac.
