Sithrandel is currently working on the Mac package of 0.7.6; I think it'll be done in a few days. Generally speaking, they come out within a week of the Windows version being released.
Please keep in mind that Wesnoth is currently in rapid development, with changes taking place by the day. To wait for all versions to be prepared before releasing a new development version would slow down testing by quite a bit. I know it's frustrating, I run a Mac too, but I guess that's the way things will stay until Version 1.0 is finally released.
Of course, if you're confident with compiling, you could always use CVS to keep up-to-date and compile yourself...

The Mac version is out now.
I think that it is worth pointing out that I tend to compile a binary as soon as I can. If there is a weekend in the way it does take a little longer.
I'm just a punter like yourselves
In fact I probably tend to play less 
I'm not a member of the dev team or anything fancy and there is nothing to stop others releasing binaries too.
Indeed when I was on holiday iRichard was kind enough to add a binary or two
I'd hate to see the others held back waiting for a Mac binary. I also like the fact that any nasty bugs will normally be seen before the Mac version goes up, keeping us safe, secure and happy
Wesnoth is Free software and as such you have to take the bad with the good. Others are free to compile and release when they want. Similarly I am free to make the binary I produce as Mac-like as possible. I think that works out great as I am a firm believer in ease of use and the Mac philosophy.
