You will also get a lot more support on Windows as all the pros are normally on it. Houdini is a bit more MAC friendly if you like. Head on over to 3d-Palace the owner of that company is about the nicest guy around, "Cris" and he's pretty famous in the 3D world.
MAX does not run under OS X.

He'd be booting the Mac under Windows at which point it's no different than running on any other Intel chip based hardware.
