Microsoft will support VP8 in IE9.
Apple's HTML5 implementation uses Quicktime, so supports any format for which you have a Quicktime plug-in. I have no trouble, for instance, watching Ogg Theora video on HTML5 sites in Safari on my Mac.
I'd expect that Perian will add VP8 support for Mac, since they already have a couple other codecs from the VP family. Perian is a third party collection of codecs for Quicktime.
