GOG supports only Windows ( at the moment at least) but I think there are many that you can play on Mac with a little tweaking.

None of the games here will work on a Mac. Windows is the only supported platform.
naitive MAC games/support, no sorry but check the conference on the 18th of this month as they are announcing new OS support so it's more then likely going to be either going to be MAC or Linux support(I don't think even GOG would be silly enough to formally announce that their adding supporting Win 8 and nothing else, then again) but in the mean time you can check the link Licurg posted and this:
http://www.gog.com/en/mix/gog_games_on_a_mac_and_how

Also you should be able to run most Dos based games and 2d point and clicks with the Mac versions of Dosbox and ScummVM for supported 2d adventures like QFG 1-4, Beneath a Steel Sky, Goblins 1-3/Gobliiins Pack, ect.

The big issue is of course is getting the .exe's and the data files and such out of the Windows installers but the thread Licurg posted should have a solution for that issue.

My bad
Any game that uses ScummVM or DosBox will work on a Mac, but the installer will have to be run in WINE since it's a Windows-Only installer. That's a lot of games here, you can check the links already posted or look on the GOG Wiki: http://www.gogwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page

or the DosBox wiki:

Or the ScummVM compatibility page:

Oh, I'm so hoping for Linux. Mac users don't deserve fun.

Unfortunately, GOG does not support MACs. I don't think anyone for that matter has been able to figure out how utilize the Media Access Control sublayer to run actual applications, let alone classic games like Planescape Torment.

GOG doesn't officially support Macs either, but many, many games do work well in Macs running OS X through , [url=http://www.scummvm.org/]ScummVM, or a Mac OS X [url=http://wineskin.urgesoftware.com/tiki-index.php]distribution of your choice.

I also have a lengthy of games I've personally tested on Mac OS X (which I've stopped updating due to problems with the GOGmix feature), and a [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/gog_games_on_mac_os_x_a_how_to]comprehensive tutorial I've written on getting GOG game releases to work on OS X.

Edit: If you want a game to try out, HoMM III works flawlessly out of the box (with multiplayer untested) in CrossOver, as does Torchlight. I recently just got Blood Omen 2 working perfectly in Wineskin too (OS X 10.6.8, with WS9WINE1.4NoXinput2), and both Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2 work very well too (with WS8WINE 1.3.37).
