What do you even mean by that question? Can you provide an example?

I'm guessing he means custom levels, which we can't yet have on the windows version either.

The answer right now is no.
The answer in the future is yes, presuming Introversion want to maintain compatibility.

Wait, the data/levels folder thing, where you put the text files?
Can you do that on a mac?

The only thing to do is try it and find out

This is help with the forum, not with your search:
There is an "Edit" Button to the top right of your posts. You can use that instead of posting 3 times in a row.

It is possible, but it is not really something that should be done by the faint of heart, because you really ought to know what you are doing, and it will break the auto-updating functionality (Ambrosia's updater checks the checksum of the application bundle before installing any updates---as you will be editing application bundle, this will change the checksum, which will probably cause the auto-updater to fail). That being said:
  1. In the Finder, find Multiwinia.app, right-click (or ctrl-click) on it, and select "Show Package Contents", which should be the first option.
  2. A new window should pop up. This window ought to contain a single directory called "Contents". Navigate to Contents/Resources/ .
  3. Create a new directory in Resources/ called "data/".
  4. This data directory should behave in exactly the same way that the data directory behaves when running Windows. Thus, to install any of the currently existing mods, follow the directions given by those mods, and treat your newly created data directory as though it were the data directory of the Windows version.
