The Bitcoin wallet on Mac OS X is located in ~/Library/Application Support/Bitcoin/wallet.dat.
Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) came out, and it has the ~/Library folder hidden, see the answer from chilled35 to access it with Finder.
In order to see hidden folders, such as
~/Libraryfrom Finder, simply hitshift + ⌘ (command) + Gwhich will GO to a folder, then paste in this location:~/Library/Application Support/BitcoinFrom there, you will see all the files associated with your wallet.
