I'd expect it not to run as well on a Mac simply because these are no
serial ports on any current Mac.

But getting it running should be easy because the Mac ships with NTP
already set up and running.  All you should have to do edit the config
file.

If you already have a Linux system running at a server with a direct
connect GPS there is little need to put a GPS on the Mac because
without a good PPS signal on a serial oct you may as well use a
networked GPS server for time
