LEGO CAD from DACTA comes with both the Mac and PC versions. I got it for my
birthday this month, but I haven't tried it yet. One problem is that it was
designed for use with DACTA Simple Machines, so it is limited on parts and is
mainly Technic. I heard add on disks will be coming out.

You are probably right. A mac only group may not be such a good idea after all.
And I do know that Mac users are welcome in the .cad groups.
