I have found no information on this online, as of now, but I have figured it out on my own.
If you by the app on the Mac App Store, the Mods menu does not show up, even after installing Mods in the usual place. Here is the solution:
1. Find the following file and back it up:
/Applications/Civilization Beyond Earth.app/Contents/GameData/assets/UI/FrontEnd/MainMenu.xml
This works for Civ BE version 1.0.0 as downloaded from the Mac App Store November 17, 2014. Your results may vary, and this is why you should back up the file. In this modification of the game, you will be destructively replacing code that you can not get back unless you back up the file.
2. Open the file in your favorite text editor.
3. There are two sets of If/Then/Else statements in this file that pertain to us. The go like this:
<!-- s #if MAC_PORT
A bunch of xml code
<!-- #else // MAC_PORT
A bunch of code
<!-- #endif // MAC_PORT -->
There are two sets, find them both.
4. Under the first if/then statement, copy the code from the lines between "Else Mac Port" and "Endif Mac Port." Paste these lines of code replacing the lines of code between the "If Mac Port" and "Else Mac Port."
5. Do the same step as above, but for the second set of If/Then/Else statements.
6. Save the file. (You may need to adjust your permissions for both the file and the directory the file is in first)
7. Install Mods in the usual directory.
/Users/username/Library/Containers/com.aspyr.civbe.appstore/Data/Library/Application Support/Sid Meier's Civilization Beyond Earth/MODS
8. Open up Civ BE and enjoy.
