  there is nothing like crazy bump, period.
  
  there's a bump to normal tool for the mac floating around somwhere, just google for it as i haven't got the link. the results are similar to what the nvidia photoshop plugin generates.
  
  although buggy at the moment, silo 2 should make a decent high poly to low poly normal map generator if you want to go that route.

  Thanks Snowfly ;)
  
  An OSX version of CrazyBump will happen, but not for a couple of months at least. Still too busy adding features to the Windows version.
  
  For the moment, all I can recommend is to run CrazyBump using VMware or Parallels.

  I haven't used it much but Mudbox generates decent Normal maps, but takes a while. Mudbox runs on a mac right? What about ZBrush?

  If you have an Intel mac, then running Parallels or Bootcamp and then running crazy bump is you best bet.
  
  If not, then you are still in luck
