the renoise tracker has a mac version I think.
www.renoise.com
It isnt 100% free, but the program that they give you isnt handicapped in any ways except you can't use ASIO or render your song into a wav wihtout registering. But even then, you can still make a sound file by just using a cable to record it while its playing in the program, and if your looking for freeware I doubt that you have equipment that uses asio drivers anyway.
There is alot of "tracker" music software that is free, and some of it works on the mac. There is actually a whole separate and more computer oriented and grossly male dominated scene that revolves around tracker programs.
there is another one called modplug that is open source, maybe it compiles on a mac, not so sure.
Check out renoise, I think the tracker style of music making is a very fun way to sequence, not to mention how much more affordable it is.
You are still going to need to track down samples and (some)effects. trackers dont ususaly have synths and stuff bundled with them, but they (mostly)support vsts these days.
