I'm not a mac user, but have you tried dual booting OSX & a windoze operating system with Bootcamp? As long as it's a fairly recent mac with good-ish specs it should work fine...

mac do not fully support windows. on my machine i use full harddisk encryption and windows unable to boot in this mode.

to play games i have to decrypt harddrive + buy windows, which is not appropriate.

but thank you for suggestion.

No, no chance of a Mac version.

Well, the TES series ARE Windows games (forgetting the consoles for the moment). On a Mac or a PC you need to be running Windows. I am on an iMac at the moment and I have a 1GB BootCamp partition for Win7/64 and it runs my Beths games sweetly — Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout3/NV. I am however using my newish gamer PC for Skyrim. But TESV should run on the Mac just as well as the games I mentioned that are on the Mac. Er, turn down shadows a bit if there are problems and maybe draw distance, depending on your Mac's speccs.
