Yes, though I have to admit that I have no experience with building GDAL with SOSI support on Mac, but I know that the underling OpenFYBA lib has been successfully build on Mac, so I assume the Unix build hints should apply for Mac also for GDAL/OGR.
Probably I should note, that the free map data of the Norwegian Mapping Authority (http://data.kartverket.no/download/) also come in SOSI format (vector)...
