I wrote last year two posts about how I manage my Macs with Chef.

I have a few updates to make at some point but it's not all finished.  You may be interested in what Ben Bleything has done here:

Or what Pivotal Labs has:

These are workstation examples, obviously but there is applicable work for cross platform use of course. Opscode has also updated a few cookbooks to support OSX, MySQL, git, build-essential for example. 

I can add to that some work I recently did, with pending pull requests:

COOK-1379 - Register chef-client as launchd service on Mac OS X (Server)

Due to the above, I found a bug in the Mac OS X service provider:

CHEF-3237 - Expanding "~/Library/LaunchAgents" fails resolving HOME when running chef-client as root
