I know of no problems with DSO mod_perl & Mason on OS X. You should be safe using it, assuming you can get it to work in the first place.
The problems we referred to in the book were mostly on a couple flaky distributions of Linux.
Actually, I think it has to do with how malloc is compiled into the Perl used by the mod_perl DSO. See:
http://perl.apache.org/docs/1.0/guide/install.html#When_DSO_can_be_Used
On Panther, I get:
% /usr/bin/perl5.8.1 -V:usemymalloc usemymalloc='n';
So it's probably usable.
