The fantastic STM32 Discovery boards from ST Micro all come with an embedded ST-Link/V2 debugger onboard, including some jumpers to disconnect it from the target device for use as a standalone SWD debugger.

Here’s how to make an adapter.
This will be effectively a copy of my previous post, but targeted at OS X. The gist is, get a toolchain, debug connector, and open-source firmware library set up to use the STM32F4DISCOVERY dev board from ST as quickly as possible on OS X. Unfortunately, it’s not QUITE as easy as on Ubuntu. Fortunately, it’s not a lot worse.
