I think VTK is pretty complete on Mac OS X. You will have to select an 
API, eg, Carbon, Cocoa, X11, Tcl/Tk with Carbon, Python with Carbon. 
Other than that, I don't think there is much missing from the Mac OS X 
port, though others should correct me if I am wrong.

If you are interested in developing a new App for Mac OS X, and don't 
ever intend porting it, you are probably best off with Cocoa as a 
development environment. I wrote a 2 part article for MacDevCenter a 
while back that could help you get started:
