Maybe later in the year for Mac... I'm just guessing, of course.
PS: Do you know we have a forum for Mac Civ4 here?

The Windows product hasn't been released yet, and there's been no announcement of a BTS port yet from Aspyr. So maybe it's a bit premature to assume that Mac BTS will even happen.

The foot? Some might say the head. 
Indeed. I've just now dug out my Civ4 Windows version and installed XP in bootcamp, to play the game as it should be. Not a huuuuge difference, but definitely a noticeable one - especially considering in Windows I'm running on high graphics settings.
I'm probably going to get BTS for Windows when it comes out, and not bother with the Mac version.

I wanted to get Windows on my mac, but it's too much money and I don't have that much memory space left. Windows really sucks anyway, the only good thing about it compared with Mac OSX is that it is compatible with a lot more software than Mac OSX. Otherwise I think I can wait till November till it comes out for mac
.Yeh, even just allocating 10GB to it really took a hit on my hard drive. As for price, I've got a legal free version back when I was a student
I just call it CivOS and leave it at that lol. Often I'm tempted to put Civ4 in autostart lol.

I'm usually on a macbook, but I also have two iMacs. iMacs for graphics and the Macbook for speed!

Just our of curiosity, I looked up when Warlords for Mac was announced: 30 August, with a release during the holiday season:

We have a while to wait before we really need to start worrying about no port at all. I (and my G5 iMac) hope.

Maybe you don't need to wait for the Mac version:

Let's wait and see what level of 3D support is provided in Parallels 3. VMWare Fusion claims 3D support as well, but I haven't seen anyone report being able to run Civ4 in either of these pruducts yet.
However, I do see this another scribble on the wall for the future of game porting to the Mac OS.
None of this will be any comfort for the large numbers of Mac users still running PowerPC systems.
