Well Knut and Arnaud stole some of my thunder, as I was going to
suggest both options. Here's my 22ยข.
Setting the pushbutton to default is the 'Apple approved' way to tell
the user that this is the 'default or normal' way to proceed. If this
would work for you then this would be the most Mac-like way to go.
Keep in mind there should only be one default button per window. If
you need to have multiple buttons reflect a message try;
Place a static text object over a blank button. This will 'hide' the
button from a click event so you need to use the text objects events
for mouse down. The problem with this is it does not show the button
depressed. There are ways to do this but it becomes a bit
complicated. Or;
Take a screenshot of a blank pushbutton and make your own custom
buttons. Put the images in a canvas and use as a button. You make
different versions of each button using different color text, icons
or whatever. Or;
And last and probably the easiest... Put a rectangle behind each
pushbutton. Make them all invisible. As you need to identify a
particular button just make the appropriate rectangle visible. Cross
platform too!
Hope this helps...

Thanks, that seems like a pretty reasonable way to do it. It's just
that
push buttons LOOK so good on the particular screen. Oh well.
