To see menu always you need to set timeout in /boot/loader/loader.conf
(by default its zero, and you need to press something to see it). To
add OS X to the menu you may need to add some file to
/boot/loader/entries/something.conf. I think there should be sample in
gummiboot installation somewhere. (I'm not on nixos/efi machine right
now, so can't look). Also it seems if you press "a" in boot menu the
mac os x should be booted (not sure you need an entry for that or
not).
