So far no problems although I have yet to use SEC to any great extent. 
Generally, I doubt there'll be issues with darwin or OS X compatibility 
since it's POSIX compliant. It's pretty much FreeBSD on the layer that 
sec.pl runs.

I am using SEC for integrating snmp trap output and soon log files into 
Nagios. Right now I only have some very simple rules that do the job 
which at this stage is just proof of concept stuff, but as I progress 
I'll let you know if I run into any oddities.
