I switched it to "Linux/Unix and Windows". I'm happy to add Mac OS X to
the list and to add it to the Mac OS X category, but I'd like to see a
binary linked from bibletime.info first, since that's where the
CrossWire links point.
Let us know when a Mac binary is posted (other than just to bt-devel)
and we can add it to the Mac list.

I put "BibleTime" in the position of the previous "it", which should
communicate your intent.
