This is a standard part of any TeX distribution and included in Gerben 
Wierda's very nice i-Installer driven TeX setup.

You'll want to start here:

http://www.esm.psu.edu/mac-tex/

download i-Installer and TeX-fat, or get it on a CD:

http://www.rna.nl/tex.html

use Dick Koch's TeXshop as an initial front-end:

http://www.uoregon.edu/~koch/texshop/texshop.html

(perhaps moving to Jerome Lauren's iTeXMac, or something else later)

and you'll certainly want to get Michael McCracken's BibDesk:

http://www.cs.ucsd.edu/%7Emmccrack/bibdesk.html

and you may want to try the nifty ``Books.app'':

http://books.aetherial.net/

which will populate a books database from bar codes / typed in ISBNs 
and export to bibtex, saving one a world of typing.
