Yes, if you set up the environment correctly.  you need to use darwin ports, fink, or if you're really good the actual source, and setup python2.5 (or 2.6?) and all the gtk bits and pieces it needs first though --it took me a couple of evenings messing around to get them all working.  Stuff that's pretty much already built in to linux, but isn't there by default on a Mac.

So for people that don't do all of that (and that's most Mac users that don't happen to have any programming background), and use the pre-built .app version instead, it looks like it's not available if you don't know about the menu method of starting it up. I didn't know Dan had included it bundled in the d-rats.app file, but indeed it works fine that way once you know how to launch it.
