I found this app today thanks to a post on Twitter.  If you cannot afford the purchase of Nikon’s Camera Control Pro 2.5 for the Mac to shoot your Nikon tethered, then this is the solution for you.  This free app will save you the $200.00.  Its called Sofortbild and is developed by Stefan Hafeneger.  I downloaded it and it works beautifully.  Its based on Nikon Control Beta 3 and written in Cocoa.  This version needs Mac OS X 10.5.0 or later and works with Nikon D3x, D3, D700, D300, D200, D90, D80, D60, D40x and D40.  I tested this app on my D700 and D300 bodies and was amazed.  You can capture images directly from the software in single shots, timed shots, bracketed shots, and interval shooting.  It also supports and plots the GPS data.
