Erm.... No not yet. But I actually don' t know anyone who owns a Mac, so I can' t really tell... My bad!
You should try and find one, because the WarCraft III CD is quite interesting hybrid CD.
Take a look at this screen shot:

Quite simply I have put in the WC3 CD you can buy in any store, it is the same box and Cd for both PC and Mac. Top right under the iManicken icon you see the CD icon as Mac OS X presents it. In the lower left windows titled Warcraft III is how the standard file browser view looks in Mac OS X (Yes it has a faint background image :)). And lower right window titled Warcraft III installer is the games installer for Mac OS X.
Top left is a window titled Virtual PC " WinXP" , this is an emulated PC and within this window you see a Windows XP setup with the same CD inserted. Notice in the top left windows window titled Warcraft III (D:) that a different set of files are present, the support folder are shown for both PC and Mac but system specific files are hidden and shown accordingly. Also notice that for Mac the trailers are put as an option in the installer, PC has a better choice with trailers in a folder I think but at least all resources are available. Also notice in the windows window titled Warcraft III Setup, that apart from the title it is almost identical to the Mac OS X equivalent.
The only real difference is that windows requires Direct X 8.1 and thus has an installer for that if not provided by the OS, whereas the Mac uses the non-proprietary open standard OpenGL API which is always present an all Mac OS X installs and thus takes away one hustle for gamers eager to get started.
Otherwise I must say that Blizzard not only provided a good game with Warcraft III, they also provided an excellent showcase for how unproblematic and transparent a simultaneous PC/Mac release can be done.
