Theoretically there is nothing stopping you from running Elder Kings - It is a traditional mod but...
It depends - Is your harddrive partitions formatted as case sensitive or not? If they are, there might still be some files that have file references that will break. Linux is like this by default if I recall correctly.
But you should try it - If you don't know how to launch mods on the Mac, I'd try asking in the tech support or modding subforum (might even be a sticky on the subject)
Edit: I am specifically referring to HFS (Case Sensitive) which probably won't work and NON case sensitive, which does.

I have spent many hours on Elder Kinds with my Mac, once forming the Tamrielic Empire.
This- except I always end up restarting once I feel I've blobbed too much.
That something you can't really avoid - unless we put in some hefty scripted events or rebellions. And people tend to really, really not like those.
You could make an 'extra challenging events' module, with said events that people can enable or disable at their option. I know in CivIV fall from heaven I'd always pop into the worldbuilder tool every 50 turns or so to give my enemies technology and units, or create a dragon/demon invasion force on the borders. Only thing that can mix things up when you get too big, while keeping early game playable, really.
It wasn't an independent suggestion of my own, rather a reply to your comment. I haven't played enough late-game Elder Kings to have an independent opinion on whether this would be necessary in this particular game, and was just suggesting an optional module could get around the particular concern you raised. If the thread is off-topic, that didn't start with me, no? 
Oh, it's not that I dislike blobbing, it's fun- and if I didn't want to I wouldn't.
It's just by the time I reach an Empire I think 'Ooh, I want to do a Dunmer next', and it feels like too much effort to take Tamriel.
It's a fault of my own, not the Mod.

It shouldn't have continued either... *winky face*
But actually, can Mac users this mod? It looks like the only available installer is in .exe form.
You missed the .Zip archive option? It's right under the Installer Download :laugh:
