I might be missing something here...

The Zalman(s) work fine in Coot & Pymol on a Mac (any Mac to be precise, from iBook to MacPro).

Just add this to your coot.scm file:
(add-key-binding "switch to Zalman stereo" "z" (lambda () 
        (set-font-size 3)
        (set-graphics-window-size 1680 1050)
        (set-model-fit-refine-dialog-position 1900 0)
        (set-delete-dialog-position 1700 50)
        (set-go-to-atom-window-position 1847 67)
        (set-graphics-window-position 0 0)
        (set-graphics-window-size 1680 1050)
        (set-hardware-stereo-angle-factor 1.45)
        (set-map-line-width 2)
        (zalman-stereo-mode)))
(add-key-binding "switch to mono" "x" (lambda () 
        (set-map-line-width 1)
        (mono-mode)))

and this to your Pymol alias in your .bashrc file (if running through X11)

alias pymolz='pymol -S -t 6'

or rename a newer flavour of Pymol according to the Pymol Wiki and just double click it

My apologies if this has been discussed before.

Has anyone got this to work?  Preferably with a Mac?  We would love to hear
the configuration.
