Sorry, I missed that this was a Mac, and not Linux.  I know very
little about Macs or the *BSDs...  Does it need to be a Mac?  Daniel
points out that there may be significant pain here--but my
recollection is that Linux has all the pieces to make this work and
they're not horrible to get configured. [Caveat emptor: While I'm more
than vaguely familiar with all of the required peices on Linux, I've
never set this up, just reaad about it.]
