Alright Jon, try this patch and see if it helps...

It tries to use the following syntax for --dev tun --topology subnet on 
mac OSX:

ifconfig tun0 192.168.123.253 192.168.123.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu xxx up

instead of previous

ifconfig tun0 192.168.123.253 netmask 255.255.255.0 mtu xxx up

that didn't work...

Havn't tested it though as I don't own any macs.
