As Apple didn't care to support mpi, the expectation is you would use one of the open source mpi implementations. Faq and mail list archives of openmpi, Mpich, or mvapich may help you decide.

A common choice appears to have been Linux for mpi cluster along with Mac workstations.

Intel MPI is not offered for OS X, though I'm not aware that there would be any dependence on Apple for such. There are other MPI implementations that support OS X, including MPICH2 and OpenMPI.
