Correct. I was working on a way to leverage the built-in GUI ("Energy Saver" in System Preferences) to shut down a Mac from a remote NUT upsd, but it has taken a back seat to other NUT-related work.

If you're looking for a quick solution with no configuration file editing, buy another UPS that is supported by OS X, and plug it into the server directly.

The GUI looks like this:

(depending on the version of the OS)

Also, for the slightly more intrepid, there is a Fink package in addition to the one in MacPorts: http://pdb.finkproject.org/pdb/package.php/nut
