One Basic compiler for Mac is ZBasic.  Zedcor also has versions out for
Apple II, IBM, and CPM machines.

I've been using the Apple II version and it is a very competent version
of Basic.  Support for long functions, call to labels, and no line
numbers is all standard.  The commands are common across all version of
ZBasic greatly simplifying porting.

From the manual, the Mac support seems very complete, including built in
support for most of the useful toolbox commands.

Last I saw, it is available for about $95 at your local 800 number.
