Yes, mHonarc does run on the mac, as I've installed it and used it to manually archive large mail folders for other use.

There's a GUI front-end plus the executable available here:

<http://liepins.org/en/mac/macmhonarc/>

This is entirely self-contained, so no other downloads need to be done.

You can also install MHonarc as a standard command-line tool, since OS X supports Perl just fine. There MAY be some perl modules that would need installing from CPAN, I cannot remember what ones I needed to install when I tried that version.
