My own take on this is that, if there is a major virus outbreak for OS X, you'll hear about it. Sites like MacNN, or MacDailyNews would talk about it. And at that point I'd consider getting some protection. I currently have no virus software on my Macs (Windows XP needs it). And I don't see myself getting any in the near future.....I'd rather invest in a good utility program like TechTool or something.......

Install one if your school or company requires it, but for reasons I've stated many times here, the threat of viruses on the Mac is hugely overblown.
AV software on the mac is snake oil, nothing more.
