I don't even want to start the debate. But I've been developing on the Mac for about 3 months now, and it's the biggest pain the in ass I've ever seen.

I have to reboot the damn thing every 15 minutes or so. This on a dual 450 G4 running OSX...that's so sad...

But anyway...why can't mac people just download the swf or whatever and run that? I'm not sure you need to convert the game into an exe...just make a swf that looks locally for the song files. You'd still need IE or Quicktime to run it, but that would be a much easier solution than trying to convert the whole thing into pure machine code.
