Use UTF-8 on all platforms.
Most ediors on the Mac, among them the predominant LaTeX editor for Mac OS X, TeXshop, can (and should) be set to use UTF-8 as the default encoding, and if exchanging textual data between platforms is an issue, UTF-8 (or -16) is the only sensible solution.
Opening files with language specific characters such as German Umlauts in Linux is no problem if the files have been encoded as UTC-8 and UTF-8 is set as the locale on Linux.
Cheers,
Peter.
