There is a commercial version (TeXtures) of TeX with LaTeX available (which is
quite good) available from Blue Sky Research 800-622-8398.

There is also a version available by FTP (OzTeX):
(from frequently asked questions in comp.text.tex)

   OzTeX is a public domain version of TeX for the Macintosh. A DVI
   Previewer and PostScript driver are also included. It should run on
   any Macintosh Plus, SE, II, or newer model, but will not work on a
   128K or 512K Mac. It was written by Andrew Trevorrow, and is available 
   via anonymous ftp from from midway.uchicago.edu (128.135.12.73) in 
   ./pub/OzTeX, which contains other public domain TeX-related software 
   for the Mac as well. Questions about OzTeX may be directed to 
   oztex@midway.uchicago.edu.
