Sure.
There are several methods to install and run TDM on mac os.
Read our wiki article:
https://wiki.thedarkmod.com/index.php?title=Installer_and_Manual_Installation#Mac_OS

I recommend you to use the playonmac-method to run the most current version of tdm, version 2.07.
PlayOnMac (a WINE frontend) is an free application suite you need, for de windows version of the tdm client and the tdm updater
to play, update and install TDM on mac os. because there is no 2.07 mac os binary for tdm. 

Install play on mac by following the steps from the video in the spoiler below,
Until 07:19 in the video, where you can choose the TDM installation methods:

  • run the TDM updater, Instead of the notepad++ installer.
    Download use "tdm_update.exe" from the windows instructions. 
    follow the steps from the video 07:19 to 09:50, then select at that point the  tdm_update.exe.
  • run freyks unofficial installer, Instead of the notepad installer. (recommended method)
    download it from the download page. 
    follow the steps from the video 07:19 to 09:50, then select freyks unofficial installer.
    (and see instructions on the wiki)
  • Or Use the The dark mod setup build in playonmac (but its very unstable).
    from  video 07:19 in the video, step 3 from "install tdm" in our wiki article.

And if you have any questions about it, please create a new topic in our tech support subforum.

note:
on 29 march 2020 i re-tested the options above.
Please use freyks unofficial installer, for now.
Because the other options gives you several errors on start, that we need need to fix:
tdm updater gives immediately you an write error. After a restart of the app, the write error doesnt appear.
the tdm build in play on mac is veeeery slow while installing his (old) wine environment.

      Does anyone actually use the Normalise button in the Surface inspector? Even after looking at the code I'm not quite sure what it's for.

      Turns out my 15th anniversary mission idea has already been done once or twice before! I've been beaten to the punch once again, but I suppose that's to be expected when there's over 170 FMs out there, eh? I'm not complaining though, I love learning new tricks and taking inspiration from past FMs. Best of luck on your own fan missions!

      I wanna play Doom 3, but fhDoom has much better features than dhewm3, yet fhDoom is old, outdated and probably not supported. Damn!
      Makes me think that TDM engine for Doom 3 itself would actually be perfect.

      Maybe a bit of advice ? In the FM series I'm preparing, the two main characters have the given names Toby and Agnes (it's the protagonist and deuteragonist, respectively), I've been toying with the idea of giving them family names as well, since many of the FM series have named protagonists who have surnames. Toby's from a family who were usually farriers, though he eventually wound up working as a cobbler (this serves as a daylight "front" for his night time thieving). Would it make sense if the man's popularly accepted family name was Farrier ? It's an existing, though less common English surname, and it directly refers to the profession practiced by his relatives. Your suggestions ?

      Looks like the "Reverse April Fools" releases were too well hidden. Darkfate still hasn't acknowledge all the new releases. Did you play any of the new April Fools missions?
