No native Mac version, but I believe Revit LT will be supported on Bootcamp & Parallels.

Commented Sep 6, 2012 on Announcing Autodesk Revit LT at LT Unlimited

Hi Craig, Yes, a lot of the features are identical between Revit and Revit LT. Revit LT is designed more for small businesses, though, who have less need of the collaboration (simultaneous editing) tools. Revit LT will also only be available as a standalone license (no network licenses). As you see on the comparison chart (http://usa.autodesk.com/revitlt/features/) some more advanced modeling, analysis, and rendering tools are also reserved for the full Revit. I'll post something next week further outlining the differences.
