You can install Gerris on your mac, no Ubuntu required. Check out the
guidance found here:
http://gfs.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Talk:Mac_OSX_Installation
Also, doing a search on "mac gerris" in gerris-users might give you
further hints to help you in the process.

General info on 32vs64 and Ubuntu:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit
If you do decide to install Ubuntu then I'd suggest the 64bit version.
Best,
Kristjan
